My new company just gave me 500 to get a work from home station set up. I already had a desk and monitor so what are good fun items you have found make your life better WFH?

I have a standing desk that I absolutely love, and I also use a walking pad at the lowest speed while I work. I like it because it helps me stay active. These are fun must-haves for me!

like

I want one of those walking pads!

I agree with the standing desk. I’m looking into a walking pad. Any recommendations on brands?

Me too I want recs!

Also, I have a double wide monitor. Maybe consider seeing monitor if you only have one.

Is that better than 2 monitors?

I'm so jealous. If I got the $500, I would definitely be using it to add a second monitor. I'm able to fit most of what I need on my laptop and extra monitor, but a second one would make my things that much better.

A second monitor seems like a good idea!!

I got adjustable desk and good quality chair. Those are good foundations. Enjoy your shopping 😊

That’s sooo cool!

I don’t have office space at home so I got a desk that folds up and has 2 levels. Let’s me work outside in the summer. Also invest in a good chair and headphones.

How do digital nomads work from anywhere? After two years of this whole WFH thing, I realize that I need a proper routine, an actual WFH setup with a second monitor, a ring light, a suitable desk, an ergonomic chair, stationery, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love the flexibility of remote work, and I'm not sure I will ever go back to 5 days a week in an office (or even one day a week, for that matter.) But, how do digital nomads adapt by packing up and going so frequently between places?

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
