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…

    to non-essential expenses, like teambuilding events

    Yeah, sometimes you just gotta tell them that teambuilding isn’t going to do shit when opening any more than 4 MS Words make the computer stop.

    I remember having cramped hands when trying to write fast in examinations. This would the the modern analogue.
