Many companies provide their employees with laptops and smartphones so that they can work smoothly. But if one company chooses not to do so, can it be considered a red flag? People online have been talking about this on Reddit.
The conversation started when a guy who works as a software engineer at a company revealed that he has been using his laptop at work. However, lately, his device has been facing certain issues for which he asked his company to provide him with a laptop. The company allegedly declined.
“I have been working as a software Engineer in a company for more than one year now. I have been using my own device. I recently asked them to provide me with a company laptop since mine has lot of issues. They said it’s the company’s option to give a laptop or not and employees should arrange their own device and not depend on the company. But they have given laptops to all the other 4 members of my team. This seems like a huge red flag for me and I’m thinking about switching jobs. Am I doing the correct thing?” the guy wrote.
He further revealed that he develops products by Apple Inc. and hence, he requires a Macbook. Have a look at his post here:
