If you are issued a chromebook to me it signal that they consider you a replaceable cog.

Its one of my interview questions these days. What device will I be issued?

If its a chromebook I know that no matter what they say they don't really care about the postion.

What are you talking about? Because the software you'll be expected to use for your job can run on a Chromebook you're considered a replaceable cog? All that means is that to do the job you're being employed for the company thinks you can do it with a web browser and whatever software will run on a Chromebook, its no different to being issued a centrally managed Windows device.
