My company is using Lenovo, and a bunch of my colleagues were already working there 20+ years ago, now I've got a permanent contract too... I think it might check out.

My company is using Lenovo

Someone died in front of it! ~~And that's how you got hired.~~

Special rule:

Thinkpad but with 1600x900 resolution on the 24" screen and full hd on a 22" screen in the office.

That buys you only around 2 years from personal experience.

That job ain't right.

I would instinctively start to strangle anyone who gives me a 900p screen that isn't a CRT.

900p on an any LCD monitor at any point in history was always very wrong, something that should not be. Even 1080p is torture for office-ish work.

What about a Microsoft Surface?

I'm in a weird unicorn org where we were issued MacBooks, but some of the people on my team have been there >20 years. The broader org issues Thinkpads, my dept picked MacBooks because apparently that's what developers use and we didn't want to deal with corporate's locked-down images.

I've been there about 4 years now, which is almost as long as my dept has existed (we started w/ a contractor group for 1-2 years before I got hired on).

I hate macOS, but I really like the dept. We'll see what happens.

So what if all the desks are set up with thin or zero clients.

[-] CgH10N4Co2@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 week ago

Your boss is constantly micromanaging you, but you can't get anything done because thin clients suck.

Layoffs will be a regular occurrence. Think you're safe because you have a lot of seniority? My wife was laid off by Chase just a couple weeks before her 20 year anniversary. Funnily enough, they had just switched everyone to thin clients a year or two before.

What about a Framework laptop?

Edit: or a desktop that you can remote into from your personal machine if you want to work outside the office?

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 7 points 1 week ago

Wouldn't it either be a really new start up or a non profit foss group? Talking about framework

I've had so many Dell Laptops...

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

We got lenovo's in my last job. I did support software tools for internal usage. Pay was low but work was not overbearing and I could have spent my whole life there. Current job, I got a MinisForum mini PC, what does that mean?

[-] Tarqon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

You will never receive any acknowledgement or raises.
