Definitely. Assume <i>EVERYTHING</i> you do on that computer is fully known to your employer. It doesn&#x27;t matter if they say they can&#x27;t see it, that&#x27;s bullshit. Don&#x27;t take their word for a damn thing, and don&#x27;t rely on contracts, privacy policies or similar &quot;paper&quot; to protect you because you&#x27;ll only know if it works _after_ you&#x27;ve been exploited and likely suffered the consequences.<p>I keep my employer&#x27;s laptop off, lid shut, on the other side of the room, disconnected from power. I just use my own and tell them otherwise. 8 months and they haven&#x27;t noticed (yet). If&#x2F;when they do I&#x27;ll just set it up to remote in from my real computer and practice some very hardcore discipline.

Yes, you shouldn&#x27;t put your personal Apple ID on your work laptop.

Hi, I co-admin an MDM. Yes, it&#x27;s a huge privacy issue.<p>You should not have <i>any</i> personal stuff on a work computer, let alone a work computer with MDM.<p>Even if we aren&#x27;t purposely gathering everything (and I mean <i>everything</i>) for an investigation, we often accidentally run into some pretty embarrassing personal stuff by accident.<p>Don&#x27;t do it. If not for your own privacy, for your MDM administrator.

Zero Trust.<p>apart from them getting to know everything what you do it is also important to understand that your employer will be liable for anything you do with their computer.<p>(Download something by bittorrent, even if it is a legitimate Linux distro -&gt; no fun to explain when &#x2F;when, not if&#x2F; your employer gets sued)

Don&#x27;t do it.<p>Create a dedicated work Apple ID.<p>I see no benefit but there&#x27;s a clear risk.

say you search for a new job using your email at your current employer...<p>using company computer is the same problem if you open your private emails on their machine
