I wonder if anyone has done a survey about the specifics of company support during WFH.

“Does your company allow you to expense a portion or all of your internet?” Type inquiries. I’m often uploading and downloading large assets to our and our client systems, would be happy to fill out an allowable expense report if the company would pick up even a third of my Internet bill (course I have a feeling such a thing will never happen)

Anyone know? Curious to read the results if such a thing exists.

My company pays a good chunk for startup expenses for remotes but so far we haven’t convinced them to pick up the tab for internet.

My company is discussing some internet stipend. I'm all for it, it would be silly to say no to more money.

However, I would have internet whether I worked from home or not. I realize some people may need to upgrade their internet plans, but this probably doesn't apply to most.

Also, if you go outside the company bus shuttle bubble, companies never paid people all the commuting expenses that people incurred. Some _might_ give you a few bucks, but that rarely covers parking, gas, full public transport passes, wear and tear on your car, etc.

What would the company say if you asked them to compensate you for the square footage of your apartment that you exclusively dedicate to work activities. ;-) In the same vein, the IRS lets independent contractors write off the square footage of their home that is dedicated to work.
