Despite record 2021 profits, my employer has sent out notice that they will no longer pay for the internet of mid and upper-mid level employees. Work from home employees at the aforementioned levels will now have to cover their own internet costs.

Top level employees will still be covered, and they will now be covering the cost of internet services for low to low-mid level employees.

My employer is a fortune 50 company.
Look for these shenanigans coming to a company near you.

Middle class is always getting kicked in the nuts.

My wife is WFH. Her company has never offered to pay for any expenses associated other than providing her a laptop and a monitor.

They can’t do that. If you need the internet to work for your employer he can’t make you pay for internet. Lol

So, basically they are going to run themselves like the government.

They pay for the poors, while you have to pay for your own shite.

Do you know how many construction guys have to pay for their own tools?

On the internet side of things, I would be mad if I had data limits and my work was data intensive, otherwise it's whatever. I still need internet at home regardless of work.

That's fricked, and borderline unbelievable.

I also didn't realize that employers paid for Internet, but if they are going to pay for only the lowest and highest paid employees then that's pretty dumb and doesn't really make any sense.

You do know that as part of the home office deduction you can deduct the cost of internet service, right? Along with many other items.

Just wait until you get a salary deduction because working from home is a perk.

WTF is this shite, do people only have internets for work?

I work for a fortune 10 company and “internet” allowance was never covered, get over this stupid shite and count yourself lucky this company was dumb enough to pay anything for this for however long.
