The work laptop I have has a really poor quality screen. You would think when you work 7.5 hours on a computer, then you should get the best equipment possible. Anything you can do to increase staff happiness and productivity should be an obvious investment.
I put up with it for months, but I felt it was destroying my eyesight, so I had to do something about it.
My manager told me I can request a monitor from our IT department, to be delivered to my house. “Perfect”, I thought. I logged the ticket.
Two weeks later, I get fed up, and hook up the laptop to my living room TV. I sit on the sofa now. It’s actually comfortable. I go to the IT Portal to close my ticket, but it’s already closed. Must be rejected, even though it would have been nice for them to write a comment.
Another four weeks go by. I get an email saying my monitor will be delivered. I don’t want it but it’s too late now.
I wondered if they would finally get some decent equipment so I was still quite excited to accept it.
Nah, it’s just a standard 20 inch monitor.
