    Depends how lucky you are. There is a guy who works in upper management and he has the privilege to order new equipment for his office, which is all expenses paid by the company. He built a gaming computer complete with neon lights and four monitors right in his office.

      Nothing like the senior partner at this law firm I consulted at who got conned by his son into getting the a bleeding edge gaming rig for work “because he’d need it for multiple monitors and video calls” so said son could scavenge it from his dad in 3-5 when the business life cycle demanded a new computer. I did not make any friends (as someone with a vested interest in the firm’s success, also the son is an entitled dick who’s never had a job) with the son when I told the partner that a plato like he bought could last him a decade with proper maintenance.

        When I think of corporate corruption, I think of cooking the books, lobbying the government, bribing, or even straight up harassment and assassination. But in this case, I don’t think it’s corruption. If the company has enough cash for extra perks, why the hell not.
