If a firm sent you free tech for WFH (monitors, docking station, keyboard, and mouse), are you obligated to return it once you leave? Obviously will return the laptop, but was wondering if it’s normal/expected to keep everything else. Insights appreciated!

(Relatedly: laterals, do your new firms send you stuff or give you a stipend for your home office? Assuming at least partial remote for now)

Having a vicious discussion about those who selected remote work over in the pwc bowl. Let’s hear it here. What are the qualms y’all have with virtual employees? I don’t sit and complain that people are unreachable when they’re commuting while I’m over here working but there seems to be some bad taste for people not going into the office. Why? Bonus if you’re in a consulting group and not compliance. I can see how compliance would benefit from in office collaboration.

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

Stoked - our company is going to make it optional to work at the office vs remote when things go back to normal. I’ve been loving WFH and been way more productive, less tired, more healthy. How about you?
