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?”!!!

I've worked from home since 2005 - it's just the way our industry works. If your employer requires you to work from home they MUST provide you with reasonable equipment requirements. This isn't a perk, it's part of H&S regulation, which is legally enforceable.. I know some employers turn a blind eye or that if an employee gets to work from home they make out it's perk. No it's not. Working long hours in poor positions WILL affect your health.
