a) What’s the average budget a company would give to an employee to help them set up a remote work/home office? b) Is there a company helping provide such setups, or are employees on their own trying to find the right furniture, screens, cameras, etc.

Does that include furniture? Or just laptop, screen, keyboard, printer, cables etc.

We do a new laptop at time of joining, everyone took those homes when we closed the office. At time of hire we also do a small stipend ($400)? for in office items and two monitors but no one realized they'd be gone long enough to take those.

Seems like most folks have desks at home, money is largely being split between chairs/monitors.

Might this change in the future. Office pays a certain $/sqft per employee for space. But now employees expected to pay that out of their own pockets? Will they get compensated if they have to rent a house with a small office and pay higher rent? Workplace-injury liabilities?

If this lasts any meaningful amount of time we need to fundamentally reconsider It's not just 'we' save 20% off the top, its that every employee is now forced to turn x00sqft of their living room into an office. This isn't fair, and we need to close the difference.
