I know it's not the main theme of the article, but I'm really interested in Buffer's laptop policies. How do you handle it if a laptop needs repair? or is stolen? What if the breakage is the employees fault, but they are not a repeat offender, so to speak? I'm curious how Buffer handles these things that I've seen problematic at other companies.

Good question. I lead the marketing team at Buffer, and we've had a couple cases where the computers have failed earlier than the renewal date (every 3 yrs). We reimburse a new laptop if it's needed. Otherwise, I really haven't experienced any "at-fault" scenarios or stolen laptops. My sample size is pretty small though (4 years, 10 marketing teammates).
