Spent the last 3 months getting requirements for computer upgrades. After that picked out some decent laptops. (Thinkpad L and T series)
Nothing fancy, but I’m just tired of diagnosing problems with previous sysadmin purchased Vostro laptops.
After getting quotes from multiple vendors, finally got everything and sent the CEO to confirm. Guess fucking what… It got fucking denied.
“Look for cheaper laptops and replace only whats critical”
Employees are rocking 7 year old laptops with 128G SSDs! The bloody things can’t even run Win 11! The whole upgrade costs less than their single “teambuilding”! I hate this these cheapskates so fucking much…
Have you considered updating your CV to get ready to leave for greener pastures?
Because that sounds like a “update your CV and get ready to leave for greener pastures” kinda situation.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this, but there are collegues that I consider friends, and wouldn’t want them to suffer the workload increase. Either way I still have some patience and not yet ready to jump ship.
Thanks for the suggestion, friend.
Your bosses are consciously taking advantage of your loyalty. Don’t be their bitch. Leave, and tell your coworkers to do the same. They’ll thank you, eventually.
