No joke. I just found out one of our ADs takes his Apple monitor home when he decides to WFH because working off his laptop is annoying. I mean, isn’t that why you have a desk...

Just because he didn’t share his reason with you doesn’t mean there isn’t one. His reason could be to get as far from you as possible. But that would be pure speculation on my part.

Working from a laptop is annoying... but taking your monitor home is crazy! If it was me, I’d just buy one. As long as the work is done and not falling on anyone else, then lug away.

Who cares as long as you get the work done? Also, a change of scenery sometimes helps with coming up with ideas.

@OP your AD should just buy a monitor for home. There are a ton of 4K monitors out there that are much cheaper and less antiquated than the Apple monitor.

Does anyone feel they’re adding any sort of value while going to the office? I personally don’t.

Leadership asks us to come 2-3 days in a week and if I have to work in the same way which I used to do from home then why don’t we keep doing WFH as long as your job is not suffering.
