How do you arrange your monitor(s) at your home office?
I am torn between having two monitors with a monitor arm as I have in my office, or having a big one monitor and use it with split screen.

Silly question- but how do you work from home? I could do it in small amounts and with small projects with simple things. But I can’t do any type of excel work or testing on my small laptop. I’m thinking about setting up an office for two screens and a standing desk. Would work reimburse that? (If they are primarily WFH)

Any advise for wrist pinch pain? (Not looking for the surgery route). I also have an ergonomic keyboard.

I’m looking at upgrading my home office chair and investing in one from Herman Miller. Is it really worth that $1000+ price tag or am I just buying into the hype?

If yes, which one is recommended?

What are good excuses to come to and work in the office? (In a country with semi-mandatory home office with exceptions being approved easily by employer)

Just ruined my very expensive ergonomic wireless keyboard by dropping a gallon of coffee on it. How’s your day going

I caved and bought an Aroma Diffuser from Muji and honestly one of the best purchases I made for my home office. Some of these scents put me at ease when it’s a tough day

I didn't know I was supposed to file taxes in multiple states when I started and honestly thought that I only needed to report the hours associated with my home office for revenue recognition/billing

Any ergonomic chair recommendations?

Does Google reimburse home office equipment? Also do they provide a laptop bag?

Hey people, I’m looking to get some ergonomic tech for my new job , where they are giving me a MacBook Pro. Does anyone have suggestions for a mouse and an external keyboard? I have a set that I use for my current computer, which is a Lenovo thinkpad, but not sure it will be compatible. I have multiple herniated discs , so trying to be set with my wfh station before starting 🤞

I know I have to look for a job but I really don’t want to. Waiting it out until I can start a new job somewhere else that’s not my cluttered home office.

Does Infosys reimburse Internet bills for resources who are working from home??

Also does they provide any extra miney to setup home office, like for chairs & tables?

Hi There - I'm considering a role in consulting. The role is London based and as some of you may know the commute into London by train is significantly expensive (especially compared to my pre-covid commute by car). So that I can properly consider any offers I may get - can you claim expenses generally when travelling to client site, if that client site is also in London (albeit a different part of London to where your home office).

As a junior I find the hardest part of my job is scheduling blocks of time to do the work while also dealing with urgent things that always come up during the day. And the constant inflow of tasks from partners with priorities. It’s soooo exhausting. I kind of wish I had a secretary sort out all competing task deadlines between partners and “urgent” tasks and just schedule it on my calendar. Kind of like a family physician would have. I just want to do the work. How can I make this easier?

3rd year associate looking to make a move after being at my firm for 2 years. I am in ID and unfortunately have not had much experience with dispositive motion practice and I do not have any cases that will see motion practice for quite some time. The bulk of my writing are status reports to the carrier with minimal legal analysis. I’ve done one mediation. What are some examples of writing samples that firms are looking for? How can I turn this negative into a positive? TIA!

Is there a nice way of telling clients you don’t want to give them your cell number? I really want to say absolutely TF not but that’d probably be frowned upon. 😂

Do you have to invite people from your office to your wedding? I work at a very small office with out 12 people total, including staff. The other associate here invited everyone in the office, and their significant others to her wedding. That's a lot of extra money I wasn't intending to spend for people I'm not particularly close to. Anyone else been in a similar situation?

Has anyone left ID, then gone back and then left again? I left ID a year ago to do L&E. I enjoy this area of law a lot, but my firm is mega toxic and there's 0 chance of growth here. I have the opportunity to work with an incredible partner/mentor I worked with when I did ID, but at a different ID firm. I will be given resources and assistance to develop whatever practice area of law I want and the firm wants to expand to employment law. Is this worth the risk of getting stuck in ID again?

For AUSAs / ADAs / Prosecutors - how did you make the transition from Big Law? My two main concerns are: (1) building connections at my current firm and translating those into bridges to a prosecutors office and (2) managing the financial transition. Taking the salary cut and still managing students loans and a standard of living with a family, mortgage, and bills.

I love that expert firms are now just sending their holiday treats directly to my home, but I hope they don't show up at my door in 2021 asking when is a good time to discuss my expert witness needs.
