They really should have shared more details of what is included in the 10k. My work have said whatever kit (monitors, etc) you need to work from home, we will get it ordered.But doesn’t this story irk you just a tinge??
By all means meet some additional costs but a flat £10k?... really?
How many laptops, printers and stationery do they need? And how much gas and electric do they think they will use.
Give them their £10k but once this is all done get them to tot up what they really spent and provide receipts, which, if they are truly honest with themselves and are being totally responsible with tax payers money, is unlikely to come close to this sum.
Donate the excess back to these charities in desperate need.
Or, here’s a thought... donate the £10k to local constituency charities anyway and pick up the tab for some additional costs... treat it as a small 10% reduction in salary as par for the course In this crisis.
Why do we continually have to read these sorts of stories in the face of such hardship?
Now most of us took our kit home, but even so, for a company who hates spending money, it was surprising to hear management constantly reinforce the message. Obvs, it won't touch 10k, but my role is different to theirs.
