Yes. That's why made it illegal to sell used electronics. :( Someone could always pick them up for personal use or ship them overseas.

lol, take a look at this
http://money.cnn.com/2006/04/13/magazines/fortune/fastforward_fortune/index.htm

CNN has a story about an Indian IT outsourcing firm HCL Technologies, whose president feels that 'employees come first and customers second.' He further feels that every employee should 'rate their boss, their boss' boss, and any three other company managers they choose, on 18 questions using a 1-5 scale. There is even an electronic ticket system to flag anything they think requires action in the company. The company president explains, 'It can be I have a problem with my bonus, or My seat is not working, or My boss sucks.' This ticket is then routed to a manager for resolution. The article's argument: India has the most modern management system in the world."
