rootusrootus | on: Goldman Sachs is pulling Claude Code from its bankers and traders
Not much other than corporate policy and Anthropic's policy that you are not allowed to do that unless your company is very small.

Anecdotally, I know that quite a number of people at my company (mid-sized, ~5000 employees) have personal ChatGPT or Anthropic subscriptions they are using. Despite the fact that we have Microsoft Copilot (the web version) for everyone, and Github Copilot (the CLI thing) with low limits (500-1900 credits/month) for people who can justify it. But Copilot isn't all that great compared to Claude Code, so a lot of people continue to use their personal account.

It violates a number of policies and is probably a firing offense, but I haven't heard of anyone getting nailed for it yet. And I know that line managers are aware of it happening.

I do wish they'd just let us buy Claude Code API access. Copilot w/Opus 5.5 is noticably worse than CC using the same model. But oh well, I'm not getting fired over it.

I’m in the same boat - 5000AI credits ($50) per month on GitHub copilot at work and Opus 5.5 is way worse than on CC, and burns through the limit much faster.

I cannot use unapproved software on my work machine so I won’t use Claude at work but it’s insane how much more can I get done on my personal machine with the lowest Claude Code tier. It’s clear that personal licenses are subsidized and companies need to pay the big bucks for the same thing.

I was just asking Claude this morning how to make Copilot suck less. It had suggestions for improving the prompting to try and get the same kind of thorough behavior CC gets from Opus. I'll have to give that a try, but I suspect I'm going to burn through a lot more credits and the default /review already burns plenty.

The first time I ran Copilot I had 500 credits. Ran a single code review, it used ~100 of them. Ha! Then my manager ratcheted it up to 2800 credits. Still just not going to be enough, not even close, even if the only thing I use it for is reviewing PRs from the team.
