I think this list is more valuable to employers than to candidates. Employers should be sensitive to the many hot buttons candidates have. Most of them are proxies for appreciation and trust. Treat every touchpoint as a chance to show your employees appreciation and trust. For candidates, however, I'd advise focusing more on the big picture. Monitors are not a strategic issue. At one company I simply brought in my own 21" CRT rather than argue it. At another, I bought my own RAM and disk to upgrade my workstation. A candidate who is focused on these minor concerns might come across as selfish, myopic and high maintenance. Again, as an employer I would absolutely cater to these concerns. But as a candidate I would try to forget them.
