  I was coming from a mindset you were using your own laptop or buying your own laptop.

    Most companies will not require you to purchase your own work computer. I would consider that a huge red flag.

      It’s also about covering your own arse. If you have any work documents/emails/etc on a personal device, it might get taken as evidence if the company is sued. It’s not just WFH, don’t do anything work-related on a personal device.

      This is why I am making sure if I ever end up in a job that requires me to use one that I will 100% be providing my own.

    Don’t use your personal laptop for work. Don’t use your work laptop for personal stuff.

      why? all my work is done in a browser in a (Chrome) work profile except for Slack. Is there really any chance they can see what I’m doing I’m Firefox outside of work hours? Wouldn’t that open them up to massive lawsuits?
