I hate when jobs make you pay a fee/deposit to essentially rent equipment from them and then tell you “Oh you’ll get it back if you return this in the same condition it was in when you got it.” because my brain is wired to think all companies will be scummy enough to keep the money if they find the most insignificant little scratch that can only be seen under a microscope.
That’s because that’s exactly what happens. If they were serious they’d just charge you for it when you return it broken. “Renting” your equipment from your boss is a scam. Every time.
Exactly, they give it to you new and after a year of regular wear they take the deposit because how dare it have wear from pressing the talk button and being hit by the sun 24/7.

Mfs dosen’t even own the means of production and are extracting surplus value anyway.
