My new firm is giving me a choice between PC or Mac. Work will be a lot of Excel, PPT, research, and video calls. Which should I get? I have two external monitors (Dell / Acer) but sounds like they would provide an extra monitor if I wanted.

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?

Any one else with sore bums due long work hours during pandemic? What ergonomic chair or cushion helped you get relief?

Who has the best covid (consulting) employer? Obviously there are chunks of the workforce that are being laid off and I feel for them, but beyond keeping your job, has your employer done anything to make the situation better? I am hearing rumors of increased pay (to offset lack of expense budget which is factored into our comp), budgets for home office, going above and beyond to cover unpaid covid testing etc.

What are favorite desktop keyboards? Is it worth investing in a higher-end model? Mechanical? Ergonomic?

Looking for recommendations on home office purchases. We have a $300 annual benefit and I've previously purchased a bunch, including: new chair, standing desk, multiple monitors, mesh wifi, and mini white board. Also already have headphones and a Jabra conference speaker.

Anything else people have found helpful?

I am currently on a 2 month LOA from a big box retail store to care for a child having surgery. I have been contacted with a job offer in office admin which I studied at College last year.

The new place is willing to work around his needs and do a home/office hybrid for a few weeks.

Potentially dumb query here: joining a new big agency next week. Just received my laptop but nothing else was provided. Happy to wait til my official onboarding to find out what home office supplies they’ll provide or if I should purchase myself (keyboard, mouse, headphones) but would love any insight if someone’s gone through the process??

Weird question (please don’t judge). Do any of you “display” your watch boxes? I have two Rolex’s and currently, the green boxes live in my closet. I bought a brand new home office desk and was considering “displaying” the boxes on my desk. Is this pretentious? Does anybody else do this? Thanks in advance for answering a weird question lol

A call to action - pandemic and recent violence are going to continue to adversely affect the economy, especially small businesses. Please seek out some in your communities that you value. Try to transfer whatever you can afford and spread the funds around. GoFundMe is a good way to do it. If you know people directly affected, please educate them on how to set up a GoFundMe account if they don't know how.

Looking for advice re maternity leave. About a year ago I moved to a new state but have continued working for the same small firm remotely. Everything is basically the same, except I am not doing any in-person hearings, depos, meetings, etc. Also, we changed my pay structure so I am now paid a percentage of everything I bill, which has turned out to be a good bit more than what I was making before on a set salary. That, coupled with the flexibility to generally work whenever I want (cont below)
