      Employer and petty co-worker are extreme douchebags. Glad the intern left, kept the card but didn’t shame the employer. You gotta be a real pos to go through all of this bc the intern entered a raffle and won.

      You found the love of your life on our businesstrip? You need to send her to the CEO, he gets to fuck her firts.

      All that over such a cheap card. Seems like strange behaviour on both sides.

      Good choice, because it’s not just about the RTX. If a company is willing to argue with a person over a 400 euro mid tier graphics card, it pretty much already speaks to the character of the company and how well you are respected there. They’d eventually find something else to screw him over with even if he complied.

      That’s seriously fucked up… If you’re going to be that petty to your employees, just make sure you have a corporate gift policy in place.

      Good on that intern for telling them to go screw themselves. That’s probably not a very good career decision though….

      Employee -> ‘NTA’.

      Also/save you a click – it was a Shanghai company + a ~$400 card won via ‘lucky draw’ and…

      “*According to lawyers analyzing the case, the ownership of an official prize lies in judging whether it was obtained by luck or as a result of performing official duties. Unless the company had clear rules in place regarding staff or interns taking part in competitions while on business trips, it could not have legally demanded the GPU be handed over.*”… 🤷🏻‍♂️

      It’s like asking the intern for his lottery winnings if he decided to go to the casino during the trip. What mental gymnastics did the HR team have to pull off to come to this conclusion?

      I won $500 at the last Cisco Live I went to for a work trip. There’s no way I would have given that up to my employer if they lost their mind and asked for it. In the U.S. I don’t even think that would be legal. Or at the very least it would create some weird tax problems.

      The only scenario I can think of that would possibly allow the company to keep it is if entry was automatic as a result of them attending, as in all attendees were given the same chance regardless of them doing ANYTHING. If the intern had to sign up, pay, show up to a specific lecture, or do any act that didn’t involve just existing there, then the intern is the rightful owner. And even in the former case the company is shitty asf for claiming it unless there are specific rules about gifting etc that may make them run afoul of some sort of regulation.

      I worked at a place with shit like this happening all the time.

      The owner had an MBA from Harvard. Lemme tell you, I will never be impressed by these words again.

      If you said you were moving out of the city to save on rent, he’d try to renegotiate your salary accordingly. That’s one example.

      Imagine losing a staff member and destroying your company’s reputation over a $299 card.

      For context, this is the ‚hill‘ management decided to die on: [ [https://amzn.to/3XQ8Cwm](https://amzn.to/3XQ8Cwm) ] Hope the intern enjoys the upgrade.

      What company even was it? This stupid article doesn’t say. Name and shame, people.

      You can’t be happy for the guy? They probably got some free advertising out of it by him winning and announcing the person / company that won. Can’t you just say congrats and be happy for him?

      If anyone knows, do name and shame the company. Spread the words.

      This small dick energy behaviour needs to be called out.
