My job is shutting down their US operations in February.
So I've just been doing inventory since this was announced. I had 3 meetings today about shutting down the office. I'm pushing for donating as much as possible to an org that will clean up the hardware and donate it to schools in need. They send you info on the places where the hardware goes. It's neat. But the managers still want me to contact a liquidator to see how much cash I can get for some of it.
I'm also pushing for everyone who's losing their job to be able to keep their laptop. But they hit me with "How will we confirm that the laptops are wiped of company data if 99% of people are working remotely?"
They brought up the idea of me potentially staying another month (while working out of a WeWork) and wiping laptops as people mail them in.
Brehs, it took me a whole 5 minutes to find a script to wipe a Mac and reinstall the OS. We can either just push out out the script as is or edit it to email a confirmation once it starts. And then remove the computers from the MDM account. And I'm sure I can find a script to do the same thing for Windows. It ain't that hard.
The office lease runs out at the end of January. I don't want to deal with WeWorks and storage units.
