Struggling to Return Office Equipment After Leaving Big 4: My Experience
After departing from my position at a Big Four Accounting firm nearly ten months ago, I find myself with two laptops—one of which is non-functional—still lingering in my home office.
Upon my exit, I promptly filled out a survey detailing the equipment that required return. I specifically noted my need for shipping materials so I could effortlessly send the laptops back without the hassle of traveling 40 minutes to the office and incurring parking fees. However, despite my request, the shipping label and boxes never arrived.
In an effort to resolve this, I placed a call to my former office, only to find my call redirected to another branch due to a lack of response at my home office. The representative kindly took my contact information and assured me that someone would follow up, but that promise was never fulfilled.
Months have passed since that initial contact, and the laptops have become more of a nuisance as I seek to maintain a tidy and functional workspace for my current job. While I know I must reach out again to initiate the return process, I can’t help but feel frustrated that something as straightforward as returning company property has turned into an unnecessarily complicated ordeal.
Navigating the logistics of returning equipment should be a simple task, yet here I am, grappling with the aftermath of an experience that has turned out to be anything but easy. If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation, I’d love to hear how you’ve managed to tackle it.
