Bring Your Own Laptop

There’s a small but growing trend in which companies* are choosing to give employees money toward their personal laptop. (Seen here)

All the places where I worked before starting adegga there was an issue with work vs personal laptops. On every case it was easier and more productive to just use my own Mac. Switching and synchronizing everyday from one computer to the other makes no sense.

I wish companies would be more creative in finding out ways to make their employees life easier not more difficult. This should be the default behavior not a trend.

* ok the whole article is about Microsoft’s desktop virtualization technology but that’s not the point.
