Rant but also !rant

When I got the new remote dev job, there was no laptop purchase involved. We were down a computer at home when a desktop died and there was a lot of sharing going on with only one laptop. So we spent more than we planned to for Christmas and bought a replacement for the dead desktop so I could have more use of one for my job.

Yesterday my new boss says "Oh, we should get you a new laptop. Here's some money."

Oh well, at least this way there is more to go around!

    I find it quite strange that any remote employer would expect their employee to be using a shared computer for work... seems very odd...

    Every company should have telecommuter policies. Also a stipend to set up a home office. Been there, done that. They are saving money.

    @samk TBH, it didn't come up in the hiring process and I didn't really push the idea like I ought to have.
