My employer provides us with a "tech allowance" as a bonus every month

It's not enough to buy a barely functional work laptop, but you can "buy a laptop" through them, and then forfeit the bonus until it's "paid off"

I'm kinda awful with money, so I pretty much need every cent I can get. That bonus goes towards keeping my head above water in the debt trap I'm in.

So my "work computer" which requires their ~~spyware~~ antivirus to be installed is a virtual machine. It's been two years and no complaints so far. Great antivirus.
