NotYet Now that there's been some other movement on Employee Benefits, I am more interested in this conversation (take a look at the history for my previous comments). I do still think that this is part of a larger problem and realize the Kasey probably is saying it best in her concerns: Are the needs of the whole staff suited with this policy, or does it really only effect one set of our staff (ie those that didn't already buy their own laptops).
- My approach really is still to step back from laptop and talk about the technology needs of the staff and see if there's a common solution. In Portland we've all bought our own machines and have been using these for over a year, in Lahore it appears that the company has provided workstations (I could be wrong about this) but the staff there would like to have laptops. I feel we have completely different needs technologically (and we probably don't even know the landscape of what all these needs are); we need a policy/plan that addresses all of these instead of just one set of needs that doesn't apply to the other half of the staff.
- We're a creative company full of creative ideas, what I'm looking for/hoping for here is some sort of "out of the box" solution that suits a variety of needs instead of "band aids" that only address some users concerns.

Discussion
Tak, just to make sure our understanding of your concerns is correct, your main concerns are that:
- Some Employee Benefits are more important or just as important - but they are not being attended to - than LaptopPolicy e.g. health insurance.
- If the company has resources to address only one of these issues, health benefits should be the first priority.
- You are willing to say "Yes" if the company caters to the other Employee benefits as well.
Tak, have you seen the following tasks/projects:
Medical Plan Selection is on the current iteration for Operations Tasks, and Benefits Consensus Poll is on the iteration Plan for October 16-31. Do these address some of your concerns?
