Any firms “subsidizing” the costs of having a home office during this extended WFH period? My firm PwC announced a $250 payment to everyone to make up for any home office purchases (not that you had to buy anything to get the $250, everyone gets it regardless). Curious what other firms were doing.

A1 it’s $500/year for the well being subsidy

I think it’s a shame that firms are not reimbursing internet when having everyone work from home. Why should an employee foot the bill for office equipment/infrastructure. What if someone did not have internet connection at home before the pandemic?

Deloitte is paying internet bills in a few states.

EY is giving $25/month for at home internet and we also got monitors and could choose to use our existing $500/year fitness fund for other office furniture. Not too shabby.

McK just gave a one-time $150 and you have to submit receipts

I’m a small boutique firm and they’re not giving us anything.

Update to a previous comment I made:

Firm just announced this week they’re giving all traditionally office based employees $300 on our next check. It’ll be considered salary so it’s taxed but still happy they’re paying something.

We got 50 bucks a week at the beginning for a few months. But you had to remember to put in an expense for it. Nothing now

KPMG announced up to $1,000 prorated. Full details have not been released, but sounds like employees that have been employed since March would get full amount.

Up to $250 one time at BCG with receipts.

Also, are there really people who didn’t have home internet before?!
