I've got a new mouse

I did not have to make a request and the company just gave me a new optical scroll mouse and no signature required. This incident made me questioned myself that why had I been filling forms just to get a tiny device, like a mouse. I understand that most of us feel not safe working at small company, or we don't choose small firm for a more valid reason, low pay and
financial unstability. There are two kinds of big company: good and not-so-good. Do you think Google will require their top coders filling up form just to get a keyboard or mouse while they're competing with Yahoo!, Microsoft and etc. into the extent that they release new feature almost every week?

"How can everyone get new hardware as they like, we must follow procedure". Sounds familiar?
Over here in the company I'm working at, we fix a bug only if it is reported in the issue tracking system, we must follow certain application building and deployment procedure and we verify articles before posting to our internal knowledge portal. But we don't have to do anything to get our 2-button mouses replaced.

PS: we should define, obey and follow those procedures which really offer benefits.
