I work for a healthcare insurance company that I will not name but let’s just say you most likely had this health plan with this company at some point. Our computers at work are so incredibly slow that getting to the desktop takes about 5 minutes and is still very sluggish while using.
Now this might sound like a short amount of time but imagine sitting in front of a blank screen for 5 minutes, where you aren’t paid until you are actually logged in. In many cases I end up being late because how long it takes to load.
Company is too cheap to upgrade PCs and work can be completely done remotely yet we are not allowed to work at home at all.
I’m on very good relations with management to the point where I do not really worry of getting fired but still they cannot grant us remote work because they don’t have the power to.
This whole situation makes me feel like getting some type of program that auto logs me beforehand so I can avoid work regardless if it is a security threat to their systems.
If I knew remote work wasn’t an actual possibility I wouldn’t mind but the fact that it is and they won’t let us… man that makes my blood boil.
