I got set up back in April, my company didn't provide anything.

- picked up a dock for my personal macbook (have a work laptop but I wasnt going to buy a dock for it)
- two 22" monitors
- wireless keyboard/mouse
- I won a knoll chair which has been fantastic for my back

agree. people are losing jobs.

they allowed us to take our office equipment home.
took home my old 22's screens - i tried to grab the new 24's but no luck

but most importantly the jabra headset. - beats the ones i have as spare

Gonna pick up:
- ~32" LG between now and Boxing Day deals ... (to replace a tired 23")
- Ghetto LCD table-clamp-mount to float the 32" I already have ...

re: office chairs, I've been spoiled since I started working ~20 yrs ago ... Always had an Aeron chair at home or office. Yes, I've sat in shitty chairs...

re: short-stubby-dangling-legs syndrome ... I've heard keeping a foam roller under the desk is a decent alternative to a foot stool thingie...

re: standing desk -- realized another fucking issue with them, if you have a tower PC. Get ready for uber-long cables, or putting the tower on the table, OR getting an under-table mount.

I've been working from home since march as well. Only thing I got was a used laptop. That was it. Connected it to my own gear which consisted of a 32" 4k screen, and a 27" 1440p secondary screen. I bought my own wireless keyboard/mouse for this work laptop, as well as my own docking station. I've upgraded my desk chair too. Chair, dock, keyb, mouse probabaly cost me personally $900. I don't care, it's an investment in my comfort. Plus I saved at least that much from not commuting so its all a wash anyway.

I never understood people complaining about having to buy their own things, you're time and cost of commute has reduced to zero so why complain? If it was short term then fine, but long term? Makes no sense to me.

I saved $300 x 2 between my wife and I on Go train alone. Managed to buy a new bbq with that $$$ along with other toys. Along with waking up at 8:30 instead of 7am. We do work longer and more since there aren't coffee runs, and chatter.

It hasn't been all bad.
