For those of us who are furloughed and are using a company laptop do you think they expect us to return the laptops if we are laid off? I am a corp emp and feel the axe is coming.......

I have an Associate who resigned during this time period & she is going to get contacted on how to return her equipment when they figure out how to do it. That's what we were told by HR. I would assume it will be the same for others let go.
If you are in corporate and actually had to ask this, Jesus Christ....
Of course the laptops will have to be returned. They will sell the excess equipment or place in storage for replacements when others go bad.
They will probably make us return it when we get our belongings from our desks
When Macy's laid me off, I had to turn in my laptop.
My 1st thought would be, yes they would expect it.
But valid points now that covid is involved it would need to be disinfected + shipping hastles etc?
Another thing is if your laptop is like mine its a brick and they may not even want the old version back? Who knows? But im relieved more corporate people are starting to write in because its crickets and so disconcerning. I will continue to check in and share any input i get but i expect us to know by weds next week
Many of the tech companies allowed the employees they laid off to keep their computers since the roles were permanently eliminated, and frankly, it takes too much effort and cost to try to mail supplies back to the office. M has always had a different and confusing process with all of these actions, so I don’t know.
Hopefully they extend the deadline to return due to COVID. A lot of people are not even in NYC Metro area and still away.
In the past, if you don’t return supplies, you forfeit severance
