Yeah well, they should, but again they pay so good that it’s not really worth arguing about.

Even then what is the purpose? Say IT department closes VPN to some Windows proprietary solution. I am just going to get a laptop from work that only runs the VPN and pipe my actual working machine through that laptop.

This is exactly the kind of waste we should get rid of, but sadly this is exactly what we get by offshoring IT into India where people just do exactly what some consultant tells them to do without any critical thought if it is appropriate or not.
