Guess I've encountered the opposite.

I started a job as a software engineer, first day. The engineering team mostly use Macbooks, my manager asked if I preferred Mac or Windows. I said mac.

I got my Mac, but needed IT helpdesk to set it up (VPN, admin access etc...). I got told there was no ticketing system and for me to drop it off at the helpdesk instead. I did that, but was promptly told that 'Macbooks are hard to set up, so f off...' (yes, he swore at me).

I left stunned back to my manager, he followed up with head of IT and that guy was ordered to apologise to me and was reprimanded. Safe to say I had my Macbook set up within minutes by someone else. Not a great first day.
