Yeah, I've been pushing for changes and they are slowly happening. COVID actually accelerated a bunch but it wasn't easy. Boss and board are understanding but it's been slow. On the plus side, every time something breaks, it does add ammo to my points. The downside is it still comes out of my time to get it fixed which isn't so much fun with all the other hats I wear. Ultimately though, just happy to be employed and doing work I don't hate myself for.Yeah some places will blow money on all kinds of random dumb stuff... but OMG if you even mention technology upgrades everyone starts hissing at you. My wife's workplace is like this... all rocking 10+ year old laptops with dead batteries and terrible old 20" monitors. Some people still have CRT monitors. They have infinite money to make logo branded grocery bags, t-shirts, coffee cups and worthless bluetooth speakers and all kinds of other useless trinket junk. But new computers? Never! Raises? Never!
Mine is the opposite... I've had my laptop 3 years and they were trying to make me take a new one. Then Covid happened.... they ended up buying a TON of laptops and were just handing them to people as needed to WFH. I don't believe they are leased, either... at least that would make some sense.
