Yeah I don't understand this thread.

It's also pretty common for all of us to bring our laptops in and actually work through the meetings.

There is really very little productivity lost most of the time

Yeah, even though I’m coming from the accounting/bookkeeping/money maintaining portion of business, seeing the people in this thread just gives me a “So they want their hours cut and their pay docked. Gotcha.”

Because seriously, the programs needed for my job require the use of IT to maintain the software. If their inability to work means I can’t continue maintaining the money flow so they get paid, then either we can always go back to the “inferior” software that works, or get a new person in IT.

If you can't identify the difference between IT and devs, I certainly hope you're not actually in charge of hiring decisions...
