That's very short sighted of you. I value my privacy, but 200 euros a month for using a custom ROM it's a very expensive price. My company values me, but it's a large company and making exceptions like this is an accountant s nightmare, specially for a benefit that's not even part of my contract.

I didn't mean just privacy but software freedom. I would try to avoid that perk if I could afford it.

I don't recommend asking for an exception, but for everyone to get the opportunity to get that restaurant perk without needing proprietary software.
