New hire here: Got the Dell Latitude Tablet as my work computer. It came with a surface-like keyboard. Since, I can’t even use this laptop on my lap, how do I ask for a regular laptop?

Tell your RP and give him a reason why this laptop doesn’t let you perform at your level/role. He should be able to easily replace your laptop

Should I be specific on which computer? Is a XPS 13” too much of an ask? I feel a 15 in” might be better for my eyes (even if it’s heavier). Thank you for your input!

Call the help desk, they will initiate a form. It takes 2-3 weeks and you need partner approval

Don’t know death rates was strictly remote and put on non-sanctioned project NDA wasn’t signed and never knew until it came down the grapevine.

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest
