What a strange set of considerations so bizarre they apply to like no one but you. Good thing that is the case and this logic applies to a dwindling number of professionals. I understand how people can judge on such minor things but on that front, might as well not hire any black people or women on your team lest you heighten your customers' subconcious biases.

edit: also, would a linux laptop work for you? Wouldn't you need office or such?

VDI scenario is common now for engineers, so yes it would work to virt into a windows box, but yes there are other friction points such as compact issues with PowerPoint for meetings, and you probably wouldn’t run a PowerPoint over a virt.

It could also take a lot of messing around to get Office 365 MDM working with Linux. I think you'd want to do a Linux desktop deploy and sort out these issues before you tried to deploy [any of these brands of] Linux laptops.

Oh, sweet non-corporate bullshit child.

People get shown the door for just having non-Apple devices with them.

Is this a thing that you've actually personally seen happen? Because I've seen and heard of some fairly messed up companies and that strains credulity. Like, I suppose it happens, because there are enough companies that everything happens, but that feels like the 99th percentile of insane company cultures.

I doubt he can name a company that does this.

Yes, I saw situations where the things which were not conforming to the status led to... or more like didn't led anywhere.

Also, two things:

1. There are people who scoff off at green bubbles.

2. "It has doors that open like this"
