There is also a policy of stuffing laptops in locked drawers or taking them home after work, although it's perfectly fine to leave one when going out for lunch.

Which wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that company laptop is unusable for approximately 30 minutes after boot (or hibernate/suspend), when it tries to scan the whole drive for viruses or whatever.

I don't even want to count how many hours of productivity are wasted because of stupidities like these.

When i worked for Reed Elsevier in london I used to boot my laptop and go across the road to get breakfast in the 10-15 mins that took the laptop would have booted :-)
