If only our turnover rate was that low... Getting them off isn't bad. It's the folk who work outside or by a window so the uncovered areas of chassis oxidizes faster than the areas under the stickers. When you take the stickers off you're left with those permanent tattoo marks.
I just offer to order staff those cheap laptop shells and they can put their stickers on those.
Ahh, all our people work at desks inside, usually even when they're in the field. Dell aluminum shells don't retain or discolor much. A rubber/plastic ruggedized one would be a different story entirely.
Then the new hire complains to their boss that their machine is old and beat up. 🤬 Been there. Done that.
