I think that for some workloads is nice and maybe expected for a company to provide a second screen or some basic equipment with the laptop. It is nice they are reusing their savings and helping their employees, that’s awesome and it’s great for their workers. But outside of this office to home conversion, if a worker is accepting a work from home job, they should be prepared to execute it. The same way one buys clothes for certain jobs that have a dress code. It would be odd to ask the employer for a suit. It would be analogous to someone accepting an on-site job that they can’t travel to and asking the employer for a car, or an Uber every day. We consider normal that a person will spend thousands getting to work every year but getting some equipment for less money is weird. My position is: i think it’s nice and I accept any help, but if I’m accepting a remote job that doesn’t specify that they offer this equipment, I don’t think it’s abnormal for me to prepare my environment to be ready to execute the job I accepted.
