Echoing what was said above. I handle budgeting for an org and all these peripherals are small change relative to org budgets. If you break 10 in a year prob a few questions, but once? It’s nothing. The only time I’ve seen it go wrong is when someone lied about how their laptop broke and when they brought it in it stank of beer in it.

Just don’t lie. Be transparent. If that ends up being a problem then it’s a great sign the company sucks and you should get out.

Had a coworker once have their kid ruin 3 different laptops all within one year. Company paid for all the replacements (I'm sure they had insurance on the things but still ...)

We joked he was letting them do it on purpose.

I have found that rarely do big companies asset tag monitors anymore and even EOL them after two years anyway. Bought in bulk, 22 to 24 inch monitors are insanely cheap if their fps capability isn’t gaming quality. Ask for a new one and they probably tell you to dump that one at a recycling center.

Things happen. Be honest and ask how it can be fixed. Some companies would just send you another and have you send the broken one back to them.

It's probably fine, just let them know. A monitor is nothing in terms of cost

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
