While you type away on your hand-me-down laptop that was already bottom-of-the-barrel performance when it was first purchased in 2016, your boss, who does no technical work, is happily hunt-and-peck typing at 20 WPM on their brand new machine that's jam-packed with RAM for attending Zoom meetings and responding to emails. Any time you attempt to raise the conversation of getting a new machine, they have no idea what you're complaining about because—from where they're sitting, behind the screen of their underutilized powerhouse of a machine—they can't possibly fathom the issue you face.
What I'm saying here is I get the struggle productive workers face in trying to secure equipment for themselves that will actually allow them to do their job at a respectable level. Simultaneously, I understand the difficulty these IT departments face in providing this equipment whilst holding to razor-thin budgets that have been set for them.
Still, there will always be those requesting equipment that they don't need for all the wrong reasons… Like our aforementioned manager on their superpowered machine. Was the worker in this story really just looking for any excuse to get rid of the terrible machine she had been handed? Or was she really one of those types who just wanted the shiniest new machine? It's impossible to say, but here's how this IT Guy got one over on her when she went over his head to his boss.
