alt Hacker News> I forgot to sign out of my personal Gmail
Never, ever, ever sign into personal mail/messaging on work machines. Even the appearance of having done so just sets up for bad things.
This was kinda iffy 20 years ago, now its crazy to do. We all have phones now, there's no good reason to do this.

you're not wrong, but its really annoying carrying 2 laptops and 2 phones and 2 charging bricks [0].
Especially when work picks out the 16.2" laptop for you.
[0] - Yes, I know there are 3rd party multi-port USB-C charging products, but the wattage isn't as high as having 2 different bricks.

Hell, some employers are even helpful enough to block gmail, yahoo etc domains on their network.

apple explicitly encourages their employees to do exactly this - it's called "carry"ing your work device.
