Man, you guys think you got it rough? Let me tell you about where I work.
I have a desktop AND a laptop. The other day, I had to send in my laptop for repairs and you know what the tech did? He noticed that my laptop didn't meet company spec for RAM on a dev laptop and double my RAM without even asking my permission!
And my boss? Let me tell you about this guy. He let's me work from home, but honestly, I live so close that between the dual monitor setup, free coffee and lack of distractions, I work out of the office 99% of the time. I don't even get a company issued cell phone or pager for them to get ahold of me during off duty hours, can you believe that shit? Not that it really matters, in the almost 2 years I've worked here, he's only bothered to call me at home 3 or 4 times. And, at least five or six times, there was some big project and he made work until 8 or 9 AT NIGHT. Plus, if I have a doctor's appointment, he won't even let me enter the time off into our time and labor system unless I miss at least half a day. Can you believe this guy?
I tell you, with all that, plus the crappy 401(k) (100% match of 5% with NO vesting period, what's THAT shit?) and sorry insurance (almost NINETY bucks a month for my whole family), I'm not sure why I still work at this place.
So, to sum up . . . yeah, sucks to be you guys.
