A good standing desk, a good chair, 2 or 3 other monitors. These are all standard at my office, but I had to give them up working from home. Total investment if I would have replicated my office environment would have been 2 to 4 thousand USD easily.
- tolbish 5y agoWhy didn't you take those monitors home with you? Wouldn't they otherwise go sitting unused at the office?
- Rebelgecko 5y agoAt my company in California IIRC we were told that we were being sent home for just for the duration of a 2 week lockdown. Some people took this at face value. The amount of hardware I'd be willing to haul home for 2 weeks vs 18 months is very different.
- tolbish 5y agoSo then pick up your hardware when you learn that it will be longer than 2 weeks.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoOffice was closed except for essential pickups (like medication)
- faxmeyourcode 5y agoThey were installed and mounted to the desk in such a way that it would have been a nontrivial task getting them home. I'm at a large company and they didn't want us going home with them unfortunately.
