Often, when your boss or your client can't afford to pay for the most reasonable solution for such a lowlevel expense, this is an important sign to look for business or a job somewhere else.
Absolutely. If possible, of course.
My previous company went south financially, but I learned to do the very best with the resources I had available. Then I had to unlearn all of that when I joined my current company. They don't mind to spend some money as long as they get their worth out of the expense. It really took a long time for me to change my mindset.
One of my jobs some time ago was with a nice and big company, with a five digit employee list and a long history, for which expense was no problem. I did have to change my mindset. Instead of going to the shop and buying things, I had to go trough the bureaucracy, which told me that their suppliers said that "there is no such thing as "SuSE 7.2 in our list". Good grief. They too went bankrupt. No, the ignorance of their bureaucracy about Linux didn't have to do with it: after all, it was them who had showed me how important Linux was, and it could be used for serious and important things. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
