@vintprox I’m genuinely in pain from witnessing it

@vintprox I’ll make it even worse, I’ve been following these rants. Management got the tablets because they were cheaper than phones, but didn’t ask if they would work for the workers. Well they didn’t work as well. And they needed cases. Surprise, tablet cases are more expensive. So they get cheap cases, clunky tablets, all for about the cost of upgrading the phones, which weren’t broken or obsolete, to now spend a variable expense on paper. If I had to guess, management did an analysis on how long it would take to recoup the costs of buying the original phones in paper savings.
