Tech companies who have gone remote since the pandemic: do you get a stipend for home internet or a mobile hot spot for when your home internet goes out? Some of my employees are having issues that directly impact their ability to join customer calls, but my company’s IT department doesn’t offer any support. Wondering if that’s still the norm.

My company doesn't since that would be for a rare occurrence. If the calls are through teams them the app could be downloaded on a phone for that issue.

Also I work at a middle size fintech company. I was one of the lucky ones that was able to work fully remote. Granted the higher ups don't like remote work and we had a reorg change.

We receive $100 a month for internet + phone.

We get $75/month towards home internet and can use company-provided phone as hot spot.

Stipend for internet and cellphone and if I need anything extra stuff like a hotspot I get a yearly amount to use on stuff like that as well

Internet reimbursement up to $75 per month
Fitness activities and equipment up to $3000 per year
Amazon credit of $1100 per year
One time $2000 credit for office furniture
Company provided phone + plan
Other remote work equipment like Portal, Oculus, etc.
Quarterly budget for travel to HQ
Can visit local office twice a month for free food, snacks, etc

I’ve always been remote, not just since the pandemic. I get $75 CAD ($55 USD). It’s meant to cover internet or phone data when required.
