Have you worked for a remote company? If so, how did your home office setup work? Pens, paper, printer, chair? What did the company provide?

Was sent a computer, monitor and printer. I expense paper and toner. I have enough random pens in drawers in this house to start a multinational corporation.
I had a desk and chair and bought a cabinet and did not expense that as it’s furniture I’ll keep.

Thank you! And yes I agree, pens are definitely most non-essential need!

Are they any questions you wished you had asked the company before starting?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
