If you're bringing in 3x your cost (as you should as an employee), the cost of a laptop is very nil for the company. Their nickel and diming you is worse for morale and retention.
- scarface74 8y agoAnyone who will quit a job for something so minute as having a two year old laptop is someone that is probably so immature that they couldn’t handle the normal rigors that come from being a professional.
- eanzenberg 8y agoYou may think so. When you see certain coworkers get new machines every 2 years but you don't, for example, it builds a power structure when one wasn't before. If you feel less valued as a result, I don't think it means you can't handle the "normal rigors" of being a professional. It means, if you can find somewhere else where you feel more valued, then more power to you.
- scarface74 8y agoAgain if you can’t handle the “power structure” of not getting a laptop every two years, you will never be able to handle navigating life in corporate America.

- around_here 8y agoIf you're bringing in 3x your cost, you're getting ripped off and need to start raking those numbers back in.
- zulln 8y agoWhat would you say is a good ratio then?
- eanzenberg 8y agoUnlikely with a smart employer. Your cost to them is 2x your tc. They need a profit, that's where the last x comes from.
