I don’t want a promotion. I want to do what I was hired to do for what I agreed to get paid, with cost of living adjustments, 40 hours a week. That’s it. I don’t want my employer to be my friend, family, dependent, emergency contact.
We switched to all Dell laptops at the start of the pandemic and we’re seeing like a 40% hardware failure rate now 3 years later, conveniently right after the warranty term ran out.
I used to love Dell’s enterprise laptops and desktops. We rarely had hardware problems with them. Then the generation that switched to USB-C (over the old dock port) came around and we’ve had tons of hardware failures - both laptops and docks.
That tracks. My last two enterprise laptops had USB-C powered docks. The first one had problems since the first time I plugged in that ridiculous double plug for the dock. My current one is basically new and is already an unstable mess.
