It was more likely by Security than IT. Had the same issue at my last job. It was so their corpo data harvesting could be running 24/7. It could be this bug, but also could very well be intentional to keep telemetry flowing. It’s disgusting, but it is fairly common these days.
Sometimes I notice my work laptop’s fan going when it is supposedly sleeping. So I’ve started unplugging its power to make it choose between keeping battery or doing whatever bullshit it is up to. Also helps with the coil whine it sometimes has from charging.
