I overheard one of our devs talking to another coworker about how he managed to get his laptop replaced. (Note: Our IT team is know for being notoriously stingy with new tech.) He said after the 5th time it crashed mid-compile he threw it in the sink and put it out of its misery. Anyone else ever trashed their tech to get upgraded?

Bold move flooding the laptop they’ll definitely know… I had someone set up their station right next to IT and notify them of every issue, think the replacement was ordered by the afternoon

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially.

Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽
