I understand the basic reasons why but anyone who actually examines this has to come to the conclusion that it's a good idea to issue sub-par tech is penny wise

I understand the basic reasons why but anyone who actually examines this has to come to the conclusion that it's a good idea to issue sub-par tech is penny wise and pound foolish. Heck, for developer satisfaction alone I think it's good idea to upgrade them yearly or every 2 years at most. Cycle those machines through your org or resell them. The depreciation lost in resale is tiny compared to increased efficiency and how happy your devs are.

There's no where in the ledgers to record employee happiness

In this case we aren't even talking about developers who are struggling with slow computers: Even generic office workers struggle with slow machines and it impacts their productivity. I'm not defending the practice and I am firmly in the "High performance orgs require people to have the best tools you can reasonably buy"
