I think companies defo should cover ergonomic chairs and desks for those who needed to purchase it, as well as water, airco/heating, electricity, and internet/phone bills!
(Not that mine does any of those things)
Is your office closed? Guessing you have the option to go in and work from there. You should have internet at home anyway and the argument that zoom uses too much is bull. It uses 600k to 1.2 meg. You can do it over a data card with no issues, your standard minimum bandwidth from any provider can support zoom teams, uploads and downloads with no issues.
Not closed but I’m in small agency where we afforded to go remote months prior the pandemic. Argument is I send big files that my boss wants immediately (1+GB, decks, psds, videos, etc.) Also I’m not from the US, which means slow internet for an expensive price.
Yes, $100 per month
No and it sucks, but so does being unemployed.
I had to upgrade my internet/router because my speed wasn’t fast enough to accommodate all the video conference calls I had to be on. Only cost me like $100 but I couldn’t get it reimbursed because they didn’t want to set that WiFi allowance precedent for the whole company, which is lame. But they did allow us to get little things reimbursed like back support, mouse/wrist pads, keyboards, etc.
Every week we have a survey where management claims they read all our questions submitted in a weekly forum. I asked this question twice and it wasn’t addressed. The agency should pay for my Internet it’s a work expense.
Become a freelancer or open a side hustle and write if off if the company won’t cover.
I think because I’m not paying for commuter cost it valences out as I don’t get reimbursed for those costs. Just a thought
Yep, State of Illinois, baby!
