I will be starting a remote fellowship with Deloitte GPS later this month as part of the SkillBridge program. I’ve had to work in person the whole pandemic, so this is my first taste of the remote world. What items for a home office does everyone recommend? I’m already looking into a ultra wide monitor and better mouse/keyboard.

I’m working for a big 4 and have a suggestion to encourage folks to return to the office. I find I’m more productive overall if I spend a few days a week in the actual home office.

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work

Like many of us, I have been WFH for almost two years now (and will continue for the foreseeable future). I use a standing desk and split time between standing and sitting, but my current chair just isn’t cutting it anymore. Being an avid golfer, I feel that my puffy, soft +$300 La-Z-Boy office chair that I purchased just year ago is doing more damage to my back than good. Looking for some recommendations on awesome ergonomic office chairs. Cheers!
