See, as long as it is like simple things like checking email and browsing through the news, and also few google searches These are harmless and many employers do allow it. But if you’re really not sure, don’t bother doing any of these, just get yourself a new one

Personal laptop vs Company one’s

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(MacBook pro m1). 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?

Need Information about work laptop Privacy

If I'm being given a Macbook Air from my startup organization, and I installed a chrome browser in it. I use a chrome profile created by my work email for work purposes. In the same chrome browser, I've logged in with personal gmail as well, and other email accounts as well. How do I know if any of my searches in my personal chrome profile is being monitored or can be tracked by my HR or startup? How to maintain privacy here? Is there a way to be sure about it - I understand a lot of people use work and personal email in the work laptop itself.
