Comment on Ask HN: Laid off employees, did the company ask you to return equipment?

Comments

I was fired from a FAANG and was told to return my hardware. I didn't have a personal machine and didn't want to pay for one with no income so I just... didn't. I got one or two reminder emails and never heard from them again. I'm typing this comment on it.

I'm now employed elsewhere so if they ever ask again I'll happily send it back.

You would think FAANG developer would be able to afford buying it's own laptop with FAANG salaries

You cleared out all company monitoring on the machine, right?

I swapped the drive. The hardware + network card could be bugged though but unlikely.
