Threatened to be fired for having Music apps on the company laptop

Hey everyone, it's my first time posting here, and I need to share what's been happening at my job. So, I got a “strike two” warning for having Spotify and Apple Music on my work laptop, even though it was initially allowed. They're strict about not using the laptop for personal stuff, but when I joined, they gave me privileges like WiFi access and phone usage that now feel misleading. I've been playing music and listening to new podcasts quietly, and upper management gave the green light. The work environment is seriously strict, and I think that's contributing to a high turnover rate. Despite an average-lower salary and them expressing how much they need me, I recently got scolded in a meeting over this. Honestly, it feels like the last straw. Working there has become like a real-life “Severance” episode. Any thoughts or advice?
