Does your company provide you with a computer or just reimburse you? I have been trying to get an upgrade that I desperately need and it's like pulling hens teeth. They keep putting me off. I don't want to front the expense for a work computer (even if I got to keep it in the end) because I don't need it for anything but.

Yes. I have been provided a computer for all of my roles/companies. (4 companies from 100-100k employees).

how much are we talking about for a computer

We provide machines for everyone and for technical roles have found that upper-end ones (Dell XPS and MacBook pro) are worth the extra cost versus replacing or upgrading all the time. We also use third party tech support (Sugarshot).
There are security ramifications to allowing employees to using their own machines.

Why is the left acting so insecure? If your candidate is ahead in every poll, why the need to constantly keep mentioning it and berating supporters of the opposition in the same hypocritical approach you accuse them of? Act like you have the lead, right? All I’m seeing right now is just insecurity and fear masked as bullying. Lefties high-fiving each other on the latest anti-Trump meme and hit piece. I think some people just are addicted to TDS. It’s so funny and sad at the same watching this.
