Raise your hand if you’ve suddenly become your company’s ‘tech buyer’ just because you ‘understand computers’.
Last month, my boss dropped a credit card on my desk and said: ‘Order 30 laptops.’ Cue the chaos:
• Googling ‘how to not get scammed buying bulk electronics’
• Vendors ghosting after promising ‘best price’
• Accounting asking for ‘tax forms’ I’ve never seen
Sound familiar? Share your:
- Most ridiculous purchase request
- Hack that saved your life
- Favorite coping meme
P.S. If you actually enjoy this… teach me your ways.
