I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure these could subject a lot of your other personal data to potential subpoena should your employer get sued by a sufficiently determined attacker.

Don't cross the streams.



Also it's a violation of Obsidian's license:

> Obsidian is free for personal and non-profit use. However, if you use Obsidian for work-related activities that generate revenue in a company with two or more people, you must purchase a commercial license for each user. Non-profit organizations are exempt from this requirement.

Perhaps they pay for a commercial license?

> Q3. Can I buy a license for myself, or do I have to ask my company to buy it for me? > Yes, you can buy a license for yourself; just put your name in the company > field. You can use such a license to work for any company.

Ooh actually that’s the most compelling reason I’ve heard. I think I might actually split out those accounts with this reasoning.
