Not a good idea. If they have not contacted you, then let it be. But do not do it from now on. One person I personally know at EY transferred some files and got in trouble. But those were some project based files. However as per EY policy, it is not allowed

Consultant

He was asked to sign a legal document that said what was done. He was asked to delete everything from the drive and then the forensic team was asked to wipe the drive

EY does not allow copying to HDD. Did you transfer using encrypted drives?

I wanted to take a backup of those photos in that hd

I connected hard drive to office laptop and sent few unofficial images from my phone to that. Will it be a problem?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious—do you use your personal laptop or your company-issued one for personal tasks? I’m considering buying a new 15” MacBook Air (around 70k INR with an exchange bonus), but I’m wondering if it’s worth it since I can do almost everything on the company laptop.

Is it really necessary to spend that amount? What do you all think? Do you prefer using your company laptop or your personal one for personal tasks?

Recently, our company has been preparing for an IPO, so they’ve started tracking activity and blocking some sites. I’m unsure if it’s still wise to use the company laptop for personal stuff.

P.S. If you do use a personal laptop for certain tasks, why not use the company one for those instead?

Personal laptop vs Company one’s

I got laid off in November so I bought a m1 mac air as I didn’t have a personal laptop. Now I got a job and I don’t see myself using this laptop at all. I feel like I should have bought an ipad as I lt can be used for writing too. 

Suggest me if I should sell it or keep it or anything else I can do with it 

Thanks!

I want to play games on my office laptop after office hours, will I be in trouble? They have this tool installed on the laptop which keeps track of what's getting installed in that machine. Will they fire me for this act?

Do you use it extensively or is it just laying in a corner?
Do you think it was a good investment or just an impulse purchase?
Are smartphones enough for pics/videos?

I was planning to buy either a Nothing Phone 3 or a Samsung S24 FE version, along with a Samsung S9 FE tablet. I already have a Windows laptop. However, my company will be providing me with a MacBook. This has put me in a dilemma: should I go for an iPhone since the Apple ecosystem is far better, or should I stick to my existing plans?

We know that every key stroke on our laptop can be tracked by the office IT team. How safe do you think it is to use banking sites on our laptops?
