It is possible - my home office is on a separate circuit (own DB board) and I have a electricity consumption monitor on it.
I remember when we went WFH and I was so cheesed over the disruptions in Teams meeting when colleagues used those shitty $10 Chinese made earbuds - asked management to at least supply everybody with a Plantronics headset so we don't waste time.
I was told - we are professionals (we need to buy our own shit) - end of story
- paxys 4y ago> I was told - we are professionals (we need to buy our own shit) - end of story Which is funny because "professionals" in every other field will absolutely bill you for cost of materials/equipment for a job.
- Symbiote 4y agoMy employer purchased whatever was needed from desks, office chairs, monitors, keyboards, mice to headsets. We also completely ran out of "old" stuff, in the junk room, where people didn't want a new screen/keyboard but one exactly (exactly) like the one they had in the office. We didn't try anything for heating and electricity though. How much do you actually use, if your use is normal office type stuff?
- dehrmann 4y agoWhat about HVAC? My laptop and monitor probably add up to 100W. That's maybe $2 of electric per month? My added HVAC bill from being at home is much more, and I'm not sure how to split the bill for it.
- tibbydudeza 4y agoUsing about 190W - i6700 desktop - Dell Optiplex Mini and HPE mini server (Gen 10) Don't use HVAC during winter - only during summer but it sits on another circuit.
- dehrmann 4y ago> HPE mini server Is this personal or for work?
- tibbydudeza 4y agoBoth as it functions as the family NAS - bought it to learn about Docker, Kubernetes , also now an independent contractor so I need my own stuff.
