If being handed a Mac is enough to make you question your job you either left out something or you're already one step from leaving.
If a company is saying to its system users, "we don't care about your comfort or productivity," then company has probably provided no shortage of reasons why someone would already have been one step from leaving.
Exactly. What I meant is that this is a symptom of a larger problem. It's either not the entire story or it's part of a larger issue which prompted the OP to vent their discomfort being this the final act

Been there. Worked for a great, high-performing consultancy that got bought by a much larger consultancy. I still remember some of my customers bemusement and asking, "you don't have to get a lobotomy as part of your onboarding with the new company, do you? We'd previously kicked that company out because their people were so useless."
There was a reason why the new ownership allowed all of us to keep our old email addresses: they knew that if they forced us to wear their sign, those that had otherwise stayed would have left.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Yeah, you are all right. The agency was acquired by a larger "Corporation" and since then everything was a shitshow.
