> I've never heard of a business offering a stipend or remote assistance subsidy of any sort to their workers to cover any of this I switched jobs during the pandemic. My previous job offered $25/mo extra to help cover utilities, $250 to cover any wfh purchases and let me borrow any office supplies, including monitors, chairs, etc... Although this company instituted a 20% pay cut for 3 months which made that all seem very silly. My new company is doing practically the same thing, but without the pay cut and is much less strict about the type of WFH purchases. My commute was only ever a 10-15min bike ride, but Ive personally benefited greatly from the WFH switch and my productivity has been through the roof. I definitely agree with you that maintaining some space to meet and work would be nice.
