Wow yikes! On the one hand -- it's obviously a bad idea to use your current employer's laptop for a job interview.

But social engineering takes many forms and anyone could be suseptible.

Do we need to start carrying liability insurance (like doctors do)? There are so many hazards these days working in tech which can cause you to be liable for huge amounts of damage. Using agents seems fraught too; they can easily go "off the rails" and take actions you didn't intend.
