WFO nickels and dimes you on equipment. I can bill out 300k in hours a year but getting a company to spend $1,000 on monitors, chair, keyboard, etc. is like pulling teeth. They expect me to work on a 14" laptop and maybe an external monitor. At home I can use my setup.

If I'm WFH why should I spend my money and use my equipment to work? I have a large gaming monitor, why should my company expect everyone to make similar purchases to be able to work properly? In office even though companies are miserly, they do provide a baseline of equipment that is good enough for most people.

WFO nickels and dimes you, but you're okay paying out of pocket for all your equipment at home?

By that logic, you could just bring your own monitor and chair and keyboard into the office.

I already have the equipment at home for my personal use.

Your office wouldn't allow you your own chair?
