I work for a $13 Billion company....

...I'm 127% of my sales quota. As a team, my group (6 people) is $16 Million over our sales goal.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU CAN AFFORD TO GET ME A GOD DAMN COMPUTER THAT FUCKING WORKS!!!!!! I've had 4 fucking laptops in a year and a half because our piece of shit I.T. department is too fucking cheap to buy me a new one and keeps sending me 5 year old computers!!!!

I seriously am about to fucking quit over a god damn computer!!!!

[/end rant]

I understand where you are coming from. It's hard to work when you have nothing to work with.

Which do you think costs more -- a new computer that will last me longer than 4 months, or the 5 days I am now going to be down because I have to send this one in to I.T. to get fixed?

I think my boss got the point yesterday during our district sales meeting when I asked him if I could throw it through the wall.

clearly you are not management material



my wife's IT dept reluctantly agreed to give her another $20 stylus.... to put this into perspective of degrees of stupidity... IT hemmed and hawed about permitting my wife to work effectively. IT is a cost center. My wife on the other hand has a billable rate that exceeds the weekly income of a good percentage of DDMers.

That's the kind of shit that drives me nuts. My manager was laying in on us and our expenses during our meetings this week. "We are in the hole $1300, so we need to clamp down on our expenses the remainder of the year." Our expense budget is $900,000 this year year. On top of that we're $16 Million over on an average of 23% profit. I think we can afford the $1300 that we're "in the hole" on.....

Perhaps we shouldn't have bought those $90,000 Cowboy tickets then, shouldn't we?

Yea, but then our Admin wouldn't have earned her pay, and he would have had to cut her position to save costs.
