The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..

Or you could buy something, get your reimbursement, then return it?
Lmao wow that’s such a terrible process. Your company is making it harder on themselves. Sorry OP
Get another monitor/mount?
Get some fresh kicks to rock at the standing desk (for arch support). Or a sweet rug for your office that ‘helps with sound quality while you are in calls’
I’d get a better monitor if you don’t have a great one already
Another monitor?
Can you pocket the money? If you can just do that and throw it into an ETF.
I like how you think. It's bought thru the company so I'd have to get it, and then resell
Docking station
A dope speaker or super nice whiteboard or desk plants, decor (bobble heads/finger games when you get bored on calls)
So $300 on various fidget toys... Got it
Is it going to be an Amazon gift card? Or a similar gift card? Not the most ethical strategy, but you can just buy something temporarily for 300 dollars, and then sell it on fb or just send it back and then reuse the money for other item?
It's items bought by company so the $300 isn't so liquid
We're over one year in. They should let you submit past expenses for reimbursement..
A portable monitor. Love some afternoon weather outside with 2 screens
I have the HP s14 elite display. Powers through usb c on your laptop.
Pretty solid in daylight outside
Since you have to use it or lose it;
Speakers or a Jabra? Perhaps anything you can transition to a traveling tool once we're back to that model?
Monitor arm if you don't already have one just to get the stand off your desk.
What about lamps if you can get that. Consider lights to put behind your monitor for some back lighting or one that lights up your monitor, both to reduce eye strain.
Charging docks, cable organizers, desk organization stuff in general.
Check out desk setup videos on YouTube to get some ideas. If you have a desktop and you share your monitor(s) between your work laptop, a kvm switch would be useful if you have the right setup.
