This succinctly illustrates the problem. The worker is in a position to eliminate costs for themselves and their organization, and the organization has the gall to suggest that they are owed something in EXCESS of the cost saving they just received from the employee.
They should be giving everyone raises to leave, putting the office savings toward payroll. Instead they are trying to claw back.
Push back against this - it is a desperate attempt by the organization to retain outsized bargaining capability.

I had a pretty custom setup that was more specialized than what I would have had in the office and it was entirely covered. If you exceeded the budget your manager could approve exceptions which didn't seem so hard to get.
