I remember Gateway from the Computer Shopper days, back when getting a PC was an adventure.

Didn’t they come in boxes camouflaged with cow spots?

Yes, they did. They provided those boxes to put our stuff in.

They also reminded us that we were on camera and any theft or vandalism would be prosecuted.

They had a formula where you were paid out a certain amount based on your time with the company. I had been there less than a year , it was 3 months pay for me I think.
