I work in IT and whenever anyone leaves the company people swoop in like vultures to take all their computer equipment. It’s such a problem that we run out of things because people hoard it all at their desk or take it home. Is this a problem at other companies or just us?

Maybe it’s a sign that your company does not provide the equipment needed to do the job? If people have what they need, why would they hoard it?

If it sucks, why are they hoarding it, and why are they taking it home with them?

Happens in big offices. Another monitor, a more comfortable chair,a better headset.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.
