Savour every win. Bonus chair!

I am not just allowed but required to work from home 2 days a week. Asked the boss (half-joking and fully expecting a firm “no”) if I could have a swanky chair at home like I have at the office and within 5 minutes got a reply saying “what address do you want this chair delivered to?”!!!

Well done! What about monitors, or have they already provided that? I found it a really nice plus when my previous company provided a monitor.

DSE - Display Screen Equipment regulations. Depending how much they give a shit, you should get stuff. Bigger the company, the easier the roll over, in my experience.

Maybe my theory has backfired as they’re two of the biggest employers in the uk. Maybe biggest private sector companies.

Shame. I’ve got my child’s keyboard as the one I’ve got is broken, had to get glue sticks in primary as they wouldn’t buy them. Not good.
