For three years!?
Why not make another one and leave it at the office?
I lasted less than a week after buying a split, ergonomic keyboards before I bought a second for the office.
- withinboredom 3y agoSome of us don't have permanent desks at work (not saying that is what is going on here), but there can be many reasons to 'pack up and bring home' work stuff.
- tjoff 3y agoNot even a permanent drawer?
- pluijzer 3y agoI worked at companies that had 'clean desk' policies. No desk, no drawer, no nothing for questionable benefit (it was touted as a security policy).
- midoridensha 3y agoI can't imagine working at a place like this for one day longer than I really had to, before finding a better job.
- pluijzer 3y agoThat is what I did. I took the job as a knee-jerk reaction from losing projects because or covid as a freelancer. I think it has to do with the ISO security certification. It brings lots of little nuisances.

- JohnFen 3y agoThe ones that I've worked at still allowed you to keep your things in a locked drawer. I'm surprised to hear there are places that don't even allow that much.
