As COO, I don't really answer to very many people

Isn't the Envy part of HP's toy line? (consumer grade)
Yup, gotta use what Costco has. Lack of planning ... one of the many reasons that I had to be brought in
Good luck. Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you.
In some ways I really do, it is going to be crazy. In other ways I'm being given the tools that are needed to do what needs to be done. So I am feeling pretty confident. We will see in a few weeks how things are really going.
So, they gave you brass knuckles?
For all intents and purposes.
That's quite the broad spectrum of use.
What do you tell a man with two black eyes?
Ā
Nothing. He's already been told twice. -
Why the intense rush to get equipment? Don't you have a personal device you could use until something real gets in the door?
Also, how long does it really take to get a business class unit in? I'm sure since they are paying you dump truck loads of money - they can afford to pay for overnight shipping.

Things like that also require extra time to setup an account, credit check, etc.

I have never run into a company that couldn't accept a CC for payment while waiting on credit checks to get going. Again, company is paying him truck loads, and he's a COO, he could charge it himself and get reimbursed - this is a startup after all, not a 10 year old company that doesn't allow that type of thing. lol

That might be a good process after we are getting oaid. But not buying their gear on my dime in the first hour on the clock

Yup. We can't do anything practical like that for at least a month or more. It's very complicated.

Yes a startup that was just totally destroyed and restarted.
Where do you think the magic money is supposed to come from?

With two (that I see right off) exceptions - that is the same laptop I have. I didn't opt for the SSD - Maybe down the road. but it's the Inspiron 13, 5000 Series, i5 7th gen sits here

So far I'm pretty happy. Keyboard is awesome. Works great. Took Linux without a hiccup.

Haven't had a lot of time for different scenarios to come up yet. So far no issues.

The Dell Inspiron have no issues that I have found. Cannot speak to the HP he bought.

That's the cubicle area. My private office is just to the right. CEO's door is the one you can just barely see.
Man I really dislike cubicles. I worked in an open floor space (where the center was a work bench) three people in the room on phones was enough to drive someone crazy.
I am in an open area and I hate it.

We are mostly private offices here. We have loads of unused cubes, everyone works from private spaces. Going to be fighting for the same in our new offices down south.
