- culi 4y agofrom another comment here by someone who was part of these layoffs it doesn't seem like they're being wiped

- SkyPuncher 4y agoCan you link to that comment? It seems the person's statement I've found is not incongruent with the company also wiping it.
- culi 4y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33901808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33901808 Implication seems to be that they'd have to wipe it themselves
- SkyPuncher 4y agoNo, that is not the implication. It's simply stating he plans to have it wiped. It does not make any statement about the companies plans. IMO, even if my company wiped a laptop they gave to me, I'd do another wipe just to make sure it's perfectly fresh and clean. It's way easier to transfer to a pristine Mac than one that's had all of the initial setup skipped to validate a wipe.
- culi 4y agoWell I guess we have different readings on it then
