When I worked at Amazon I brought my own monitor and chair. When I was leaving I put monitor on the chair and rolled it through security and loaded it into my car. Nobody asked a question, I’m still surprised many years later that security seeing somebody removing furniture and equipment from the building just shrugged at it :)


At another FAANG people would regularly tote around Mac Pros, monitors, or full desktop towers, including packing them in their car to work from home for a day or two. Security sees so many things, that just not looking suspicious (even without a badge) is often enough.

Not wanting to spoil it, I’ll just say that if you haven’t seen this show then you’re in for good laugh:
