Our department has a budget based off of last year's spend. We are able to buy whatever we need, within reason.

How much per person is it?

No, we used to have a stationary cupboard with pens but that has gone, so it's BYOP. For critical national infrastructure with 30000 employees we are a micky mouse oporation.

They don't but I could get away with like $50 a year. I don't spend much.

No but if I need something our admin will buy it
