Dec 2, 2016 at 14:08 comment added MauganRa @GrandmasterB if the OP can get the company to reimburse the bill, then yes. Employees should not be forced to spend part of their salary to be able to work.

Apr 12, 2016 at 17:52 comment added Old_Lamplighter @JoeStrazzere That's an unfair characterization of both the OP and his company. It could be as simple as a sysadmin playing boy scout. Referencing online manuals is not being dependent on outside sources, BTW. I dare you to try to develop anything without them.

Apr 12, 2016 at 8:31 comment added user7230 is the role something like "call-center operator"?
Apr 12, 2016 at 6:55 comment added Douglas Gaskell Thank you. I am evaluating if I wish to stay with this company.
Apr 12, 2016 at 6:51 comment added Lilienthal @douglasg14b That sounds like these (inane) conditions are now part of the job and unlikely to change. You might have to decide whether this position is still right for you. Given your short time with the company and the fact that your manager appears uninterested in actually solving the problem, you don't have any other avenues left to resolve this. You'd need to go above your manager, which I wouldn't recommend.
Apr 12, 2016 at 6:50 comment added Chloe When you find a new job, they will finally get the point. I gave one job the opportunity to give me equity sooner, so I could tell a team lead when they were being ridiculous. They refused, so I gave notice.

Apr 12, 2016 at 6:00 comment added Douglas Gaskell He agreed that this was very frustrating, but that it was out of his control, he could only pass his frustrations up and hope something happens (He is a senior program manager, his boss is the site director who reports to the VP). Similar issues have come up before, and each time nothing has ended up happening, the high-level individuals don't seem to get the point.
