Linked – 6 Things You Should Never Do On Your Work Computer
I was just having a conversation with someone about this the other day. In the US, when your employer issues you a computer, or a smartphone, as part of your job, they own everything on that device.

Company IT departments usually set them up with your login information, a selection of important apps and all the bells ’n’ whistles that allow you to successfully do your job.
Somewhere around day five on the job is usually when we start updating the device with our own preferences: changing the screen saver to a picture of your pet, logging into your Spotify account to queue up the perfect “working late” playlist, checking Facebook for the news of the day (oh, and to say Happy Birthday to that friend from high school), and so on and so on.
