Anecdotal but my employer is perfectly happy to pay for all our home office equipment as well as stuff like co-working if people don’t want to or can’t work at home. The worst part of the pandemic is that remote has meant home for most people without necessarily planning it from a work point of view. I’ve been working remote for three years and the pandemic part has been a low point for all sorts of reasons. I worked from a coffee shop for the first time in over a year last Friday and it was great.
Basically remote should mean flexibility.
