    Say no to installing closed source software and say no to installing spyware. Simple as that.

      If it’s a company laptop with a company policy chances are saying no to policy is saying no to that job. While seasoned employees can do that, new employees are SOL

        This is blatantly false. There are plenty of jobs out there who will hire you and not do something shitty like installing boss-ware on a computer.

        If you allow or enable these employers to get away with it; you’re part of the problem. 99.5% of jobs do not require boss-ware to get done properly; and if your immediate bosses or supervisors had no problems with you before…consider it a large red flag. If you’re joining a company and they mention this; consider it a large red flag.

          Nothing is false about what they said.

          If you get hired to a job, the company provides a machine, you don’t get to pick what happens on it.

          If you don’t like it get a new job.

          Indeed many (most) remote jobs don’t have this stuff

      How does this have any effect on work provided laptops? No job I’ve ever had gave me full control of the software installed in my laptop.
