Its posted in a humor sub soooo no

Not IT, but my dad said they lost a chemical engineering hire over this once, like 25 years ago.

We had a new joiner quit on his first day because of this. Didn't even get to eat the burrito he ordered :( So it definitely happens.

To be fair they tried posting it on the Linux community on .ml and there were so many upvotes and positive feedback that it crashed the server. So they had to post it again somewhere more balanced to limit the impact.

The employer? Albert Einstein.

Wait a minute, you're telling me a post on programming_humor might be a meme?!?!?!?

Not really. My employer provides win11 too, but I do over 60% of my job on debian machines running in hyper-v. (the other 40% are administrative tasks and work restricted environments)

Different people are different. For example, maybe ironically, your response also feels like it could be upvote farming to me. Also, the increased sense of justice thing is a thing.
