Ozinus,
You relate supplying climbers with gear to people working in offices. That's a pretty far stretch just for ya to make a connection... And, actually, I know a couple who DO take their computers to work, and to home, etc. They're called LAPTOPS...... they need their own stuff, so they take it with them where they go.

You mention, "At the end of the day if you own the company and the profits are yours you should not expect anyone making you money to buy for themselves."

It isn't like my workers are slaves you know... yes, I'm making money, but THEY are making money from me! I don't need to baby them about their personal finances. If they can't manage to save their own money, to purchase their equipment accordingly, it's not up to me to hold their hand and make it happen.
That's like saying, okay, I used to work for CVS pharmacy, so since they say i need to wear a specific type of shirt and pants and shoes, that they need to buy the stuff for me. No! they say look, this is how you need to present yourself to work with us, and *I* need to go out and buy the shoes, pants and shirt to meet that standard. You can't just use some blanket statement to apply to every situation because you think that "one size fits all". It doesnt work that way in the real world.

I just get the feeling that you've spent too much time "managing" and not much time "doing". Or if you did, that it was 15 years ago you you aren't still familiar with it is all. I said as much in the last post and you didn't even bother to deny it.

Let's just stick to a couple things here, we're attacking eachother's OPINIONS...not eachother. And if someone attacks something you say, and you don't like it, stay on the subject... don't try to off-source the subject and think it's gonna apply.
