Hey 🐟, I have about $400 leftover in a WFH stipend I got from my new company. I already have all the essentials (standing desk, keyboard, monitor, etc). Any suggestions on what I can use the remainder on?

But more seriously, think of contingencies. Maybe a UPS? WiFi booster? A portable spare monitor like the Lenovo ThinkVision M14 is great if you want to work outside and still have a second monitor (it works on USB-C power). Backup wireless mouse for when you lose the thingy.)

A good mic and webcam. Another monitor

Wireless headphones for the tv

Good webcam, printer/copier (I have a laser color one I love), comfortable chair, second monitor, better surge protector strip, high quality mouse…

I could make that $400 disappear real quick.

You can just send me a check for the amount. It will go to my "Fund for Kids Who Can't Read Good"

Hi there - my company is returning to office next month. Hybrid to begin before they ramp up to 5 days back in office by end of year.

I think the fact they want to bring us back 5 days is disrespectful considering how much work we’ve put in remotely over the last year. Not to mention productivity studies say people who WFH (and have no kids) are substantially more productive.

All that being said, does anyone work at a FinTech/Tech company whose RTTO policy is more flexible? Looking to leave
