If you intend to work from home then of course hire an electrician (or low voltage contractor, don't even need an electrician) to run an Ethernet cable! If you won't invest $500 in your WFH setup you're missing the forest for the trees.

The company should be the one hiring the electrician / wiring contractor.

Also, joy, hiring contractors. My favorite thing to do with my time.

Why should my employer make permanent improvements to my own house? That would only make sense in a lifetime employment kind of situation. If I have Ethernet run in my house that's going to be usable for 10+ years. Not going to be at my current employer then.
