My previous employer did not ask me to return the laptop and smartphone.
So, I stowed them on a shelf and after some time, I found a use for them in my familly. I did not sell them, just in case they asked me to return them later.
WRT my current employer, the Macbook Pro laptops are registered directly with Apple. They are out of order if you are not anymore employed.
I noticed it when trying to reformat the disk and reinstall MacOS using the install image downloaded from Apple. During installation, the MacOS installer said this laptop was registered by [company name] and to continue the installation, I had to login using the corporate SSO.
So, I guess that MacOS laptops are useless once you quit the company ?

What if you try to install Asahi linux or i.e Fedora Linux?
