LaptopPolicy:Status/TakKendrick
NotYet Now I'm quite disappointed to see the vesting language removed. This goes back to my original concerns -- this seems too broad and awkward and provides no insurance for a) employees taking advantage of the policy to get a laptop and then leaving the company and b) the company creating an indentured servitude where in employees would feel obligated to stay with AboutUs simply because they got a laptop. I also just think that this needs a more formal discussion to iron out the policy. Beyond this, there are limits that should be broached, such as how frequently you can take advantage of this deal. Is this just once for your entire tenure at AboutUs, or can we theoretically ask the company to cough up $750 every six months when the new Macbooks are announced? Again, I felt the vesting option helped go a ways towards clarifying this. edit
I added "after three months" language in an attempt to address your concern... See #1. After that period you've earned it in my opinion. Also, we claim to assume good faith, so the laptop purchase for employees seems like doing that. While not doing it because we think you might quit is not. - Scott Keeler
- Tak, are you concerned about people taking advantage of this policy to get a laptop and splitting. Or are you concerned AboutUs would be taking advantage so people wont be able to leave once they get the laptop?
- Yes, I'm concerned about both.
- Tak, did you see the recent changes made to LaptopPolicy? How do you feel about it now? Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
