HP: you are not going to get fired. You will quit.
glances over at HP laptop I requested a replacement for 6 months ago because it overheats if I have a video call on and a spreadsheet open
Well, let’s see…my work laptop experience (so far).
- Lenovo: Worked there for 14 years
- HP: Worked there for 6 months
- Apple: Worked there for 6 months
- HP: Worked there for 2.5 years
- Apple: Worked there for a year
- Dell: Worked there for 2.5 years–
I did😂
Alternatively, your laptop will spontaneously combust firing you from life.
I seriously don’t understand how that fucking company is still in business.
Panasonic Toughbook: you accidentally applied to a job on an oil rig.
Haha I was going to say you’re about to get shot in a foreign country.
Siemens Field PG: you make a lot of money
Honestly good litmus test, if you got a Thinkpad that means somebody seems to listen to IT on what to buy which does bode sort of well for a tech job
I requested a thinkpad and installed arch linux on it. How safe is my job?
Answer: how safe is the job from you?
If you try to give notice they’ll kidnap you and you’ll spend the next three decades of your life singlehandedly keeping the server running from a secure location somewhere in the Poconos.
Looks depressingly at the shiny new ThinkPad my work got me to replace my old ThinkPad… I’d get so much fucking severance if these fucks ever laid me off - is it really never going to happen?
ThinkPads for 24 years, same.company. last one had a terrible battery, After a few months, I couldn’t take it anymore and complained about the battery life.
… now I have a Dell. Maybe that was my first strike used up.
I’ve been using thinkpads as a work laptop since they were branded IBM Thinkpad. So, I have nothing further to comment.
Guess I can stop worrying about job security for the forseeable future
Damn, the Dell one is accurate for me.
Looking back… that was right, hmm, 7 out of 8 times. The miss was a very chill place that gave out Dells, but I lost my job because the funding round didn’t come in.
Razor: if your house burns down because of the inevitable lithium fire it will cause, you’re on your own
