Document this by sending them an email summarizing what was said and what was agreed.. that's your documentation. They shouldn't have any problem with you building a shared record of what has been discussed. | |

| Jan 9, 2020 at 15:26 | comment | added | Ertai87 | @DanielR.Collins Unless you are saying that OP should flat-out reject using his personal laptop for work. Which would be optimal, but on this I would give the company the benefit of the doubt; if they will insure my personal machine as if it was theirs and also indemnify me from any bad legal repercussions of using my personal machine, then I'll use my personal machine. There are compromises that can be made here. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 15:22 | comment | added | Ertai87 | @DanielR.Collins That part is the most necessary. If I use my laptop for work, and then I go out and download some anime on it, and that anime file contains a virus that sends the contents of my hard disk off to some offshore server, and now some hacker has the source code for some project I've been working on, the company could sue me. If, conversely, I used 2 separate computers for those things, then this would not be a problem (for the company). OP must absolutely protect himself against that. | |
| Jan 8, 2020 at 23:04 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | +1 But I would strike out the part that submits to using the personal laptop and "have HR sign a form that indemnifies you". (a) It's just such a bad, unacceptable idea, that should be a clear line in the sand. (b) I don't think the OP has the wherewithal to judge/assess the legal protections in the desired form; sounds like a quagmire to me. | |
| Jan 8, 2020 at 22:10 | comment | added | Alex M | I chose this answer to upvote and comment on because unlike most others, which mainly restate the quite clear reasons to quit this job, this one also includes some actionable short-term advice. Which is great! Not that the advice to quit is at all bad advice. It's great advice. It's the only advice. I would just add one thing, @OP: If you can get yourself job interview(s) right now based on your CV, if you tell this story as you've told it here, you will get a job. This experience speaks greatly of your character, your integrity, and your personal drive. You're going to do great. | |
