I work for a bank (I know I know, fuck me right?).
They give us new laptops every couple years and only once in 10 years have they requested the old one back. I’m certainly not going out of my way to return their equipment if they can’t be bothered to at least ask.
So now I have 3 laptops that aren’t mine and don’t get used, I’ll format and sell them when I can be bothered and I certainly won’t feel bad about doing it. They can definitely afford it, and they’re not exactly a philanthropic venture so I don’t really care if they can’t. If I cost the bank another £1000 or so then I call that a win personally.
I agree, a common one I see is when people justify stealing from the rich (companies) because “they can afford it”.
The robin hood mentality is a cop out justification for thievery
