Looking for advice. My movers damaged my work monitor which my company provided to me in March so I can work remotely due to COVID-19. Item: Dell UltraSharp 34 Inch Curved USB-C Monitor: U3419W. It is around $700/800. The movers are not taking accountability and I do not have movers insurance. Will this reflect poorly on me? I moved Thursday of last week and ‘return’ to work tomorrow. I feel it’s best to explain the situation, as it’s imperative I have a fully functioning remote work set up..
