Not where I work. My thinkpad is managed by the understaffed IT department, and is severely crippled by clownstrike and other garbage and bloatware. Linux is not allowed, only windows.

But my colleagues who chose a MacBook don’t have all that crap because said IT department haven’t figured out how to remotely manage Macs yet…

It was sad when my work figured out how to lock down the Mac’s. It’s not too restrictive, but it’s more than nothing.

  Yeah, the firmware lock is some crazy bullshit. My old job was dissolved which means I get to have a perfectly usable iMac but… oh wait. I can’t do anything with it because of the firmware lock and I can’t return it because the company literally shuttered. So, I keep it for the day that MAYBE I will be able to use it. LOL

    I mean, if it was a computer that your job gave you to do your job, they have every right to lock it down.
    
    Now, unlocking it when the company dissolves is another story.

    I was only there for two months before they shuttered, unfortunately, so I was not able to meet many of those. It didn’t help with that matter that it was completely remote work. :(
