So just throwing this out there. Can agencies give us WFH bonuses to cover the cost of setting up a home office? I had to invest quite a hefty sum for a desk, office chair and upgrade my wifi connection. Also, can we deduct our work space rent area for tax purposes? Every little bit helps!

Sounds about right. They are still paying for a mostly empty office.

Can they? Yes. Will they? No. Especially not at this point where their reply would likely be to head into the office.

They can, but many won't. But ask for it, the worst they can say is no.

We received two different $150 stimmys for this purpose. I think the first was in May/June 2020 and another in the fall.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
