That said, the programmers direct line manager should have that approval AND take care of all the paperwork. It shouldn't slow you down, but a lot of places would buckle if programmers got everything on this list with no consideration for the cost and how it compared to the income being generated. A dual monitor, solid state drive, MacBook Pro might increase productivity but if you are not generating any income where is the $5k coming from. | |
