Why our new work tablets are causing more problems than they solve

We got these new tablets for field reports. The reviews said they were great, but in real use, the battery dies fast. My coworkers keep complaining because the apps crash. Management picked them without asking us. Now remote work is a headache. I have to carry extra chargers. It's slowing down our whole operation. I wish they listened to actual user feedback.

A charging hub solved our battery drama.

Wait you guys have charging hubs that actually work? @dakotat43 I'm jealous. Our place is still a mess of cords and dead devices every morning. I'll find my phone at 5%, my partner's tablet totally dead, and the game controllers blinking red. It's like a tech graveyard. How did you get everyone to actually use the hub instead of just plugging into the nearest wall?

Honestly, I was all for new tech until our office rolled out similar tablets. The battery life was a JOKE and apps froze constantly, just like you said. It totally changed my view on needing REAL user input before these big decisions.
