Given that working from home does not appear to be ending anytime soon, are any firms planning to start reimbursing for internet? I’m sure I’m not the only one that could use better internet now that we are working from home everyday/having so many video calls. Kind of sucks to have to foot that bill yourself to get faster internet for work that you didn’t need previously. Was wondering if this was something any other firms are/planning to start helping with.

They should reimburse rent as well, since it’s essential that we use it as a workspace

Zero chance that happens. Go down that route and they should also pay rent, utilities, dinners, your new chair...

Being a realist, this will never happen. Firms are heavily invested in their current office infrastructure (which is fixed), and so to add onto your personal homes wouldn’t be financially feasible.

My firm won’t even pay for our cell phones...

At PwC, we didn’t even get raises this year.... I don’t think Tim Ryan is going to pass-on any reduced real estate / overhead costs to the staff.

I'm surprised my firm did - mid size national firm. $25/mo since March. Not sure how long this will last - probably till end of 2020.

Doubt it. We were told to use phone hotspots.
