Being in a layoff cycle at one of the biggies they scraped all of our laptops and refused to sell or give them away, with the reason being that it's too complicated to come up with the proper process to do that properly.
This is especially true for Apple laptops, where the transfer of ownership is complicated (to protect against theft). I saw Lenovos and Dells being recycled in corporate settings but never Macs.
Lol… it will have to be the slowest of slow news cycles before wasteful corporate IT gets any press. To the average person it’s information about paint drying.
