If you are going to be doing it for awhile buy two monitors and a docking station.
If you’re going to do it for a while your company should send some IT to your place to hook you up with it

Back when I worked from home, my home office post-lunch was quite often the local bar. That was definitely a benefit.
It's really hard for me to work on a laptop unless I'm just checking emails. Having multiple monitors is almost a necessity to do my job.

Everybody I know who is working from home absolutely hates working from home

Eh my company waited until the last minute and had sales reps in the office before the stay at home was lifted. They brought back everyone ASAP. Even those who produced during the whole thing, they nagged into coming to the office. We've had several cases and my job is 100% in front of customers or on my computer. it's been toxic to be honest but I am in an old school industry
The thing is, no one batted an eye when I wouldn't be in the office for days at a time before.
My wife’s company sent an email saying by 2021 they are going to cut office space and it can save up to 11k per employee that is WFH. They are already recruiting talent from out of state.

The problem with all the "diversity" stuff is that the "diversity" they want is superficial at best and not the most important diversity of all- diversity of thought.

No traffic to and from work so my workday is essentially extended, win/win. Oh and no pants.

The number of remote job opportunities in my field has trippled.
My wife and I have considered relocating at some point in the future and I searched for my job in that particular market the other day.
75% of them were WFH jobs in New York, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, none of which are anywhere near this area. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues.

My husband and I have had the same experience but it is my company forcing everyone back and his company is trying to convince everyone to wfh forever.

Why waste your lunch hour on something that can be accomplished during working hours

The benefits of work from home are also the downsides. My bed, my dog, my fridge, my stove, my tv, etc.

I've been wfh for 3 years.
I love it. It is one of the job perks.
I do have 3 monitors (2 real monitors and I work on an open laptop).
Company provided everything including print/scan/fax, desk, chair, and supplies.
I'm generally more productive because I dont have chit chat in the office.
I work fewer hours than I did with a physical office because I used to make outbound work calls during my 45-60 minute commute.

I have adjusted to WFH and I really don’t want to go back to the office. WFH is massively better in every way.

I'm supposed to go back in September. Not really looking forward to it.
I'm hoping that just keep extending WFH. Kinda crossing my fingers for a few more cases to pop up in the office...

I like being able to run errands, out up laundry, dishes etc. when I have a few minutes. Makes the evening less stressful and relaxing because the chores are already done.

They tried to start staging us back into the office then Houston had this recent spike in cases. Back to working from home full time.
We can go in, but it’s strictly voluntary.
I went in last week one day and I was the only person on the entire floor. Which was actually kinda nice. And with the cleaning policies is probably as safe as going to Kroger or Specs.
My home office setup is nice. Ergonomic chair, keyboard, mouse. Dell docking station, dual 27” monitors, and monitor mount. I’m spoiled. But to be honest for my role it’s just not as effective. I need that face time with folks to perform the role as it should be. So I look forward to going back but he having the option to still WFH 2-3 days a week if I want to.

They keep kicking the can down the road, and this country is fractured, but they are on the verge of cancelling college football for Gods sake. They tell me sept at the earliest, But this can is gonna get kicked into November.

I used to hate wfh, but since March I wft at least 3 days a week and if I have to go somewhere it's usually the bank, post office or I'll have a scheduled meeting...I do go to my office once in a while to just chill and change of scenery. If I get too stir crazy I'll just shut the phone off and go fishing or grab a buddy and go day drinking somewhere......
not many 3 hours liquid lunches lately...which I do miss the most
So I just have all day liquid lunches at my house...
