Recently got a new job, and it is 100% remote going forward. Any recommendations on specific home office essentials for my WFH setup??

Dual larger monitors and a docking station. It does wonders on the eye strain of using a laptop without leaning into a desk all day.

Other than that, spend money on a good chair. Don't cheap out on tires, mattresses, or chairs!

High quality chair and ergonomic keyboard and mouse

I've been working from home for a decade or so. Based on my experience the following is what I would get in order of importance:
- dual monitors or one very large monitor (e.g. 49")
- quality chair (aeron or embody)
- standing desk
- quality keyboard & mouse
- good web cam
- studio monitors for music
- conference call puck

I do, but I have a 20x26 home office and walk over to use my whiteboards quite a bit. That, and the noise cancellation is better than most headsets I own.

Decent desk; really food chairs; proper lighting (for both mood and better presence on camera); decent headphones(I use AirPods Pro, game changer); headphone stands, if space permits; monitor/monitors depending on your preferences; high quality webcam.

Stand up desk and a nice monitor. Your back and vision health will be priority when it comes to WFH because it’s so easy to let things go south. Having no commute time will mean that you’ll spend much more time at your desk.

Logitech MX Keys and MX Master 3 is my favorite keyboard/mouse combo so far.

That sounds like hell

Sounds like an absolute dream. If you have an hour commute to work, you waste multiple YEARS of your life commuting to and from work over a career. No thx.

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
