>Aside from saving them rent on the office space, you should be able to expense several office-supply things that they would have provided previously. Office chair and desk, internet bill (pro-rated by usage), maybe printer ink.
Let's not get carried away. Back then you were paying for your own transportation costs and your commute time. Which is more valuable? Commuting to work every day to enjoy free office supplies and coffee, or WFH but paying for your own chair and desk?
I'd take the latter any day of the week as the chair & desk is a one time cost anyway and lasts 10+ years.
aye, and the difference is the commute and its resources -- gas, new tires, oil changes, etc. -- ain't coming back.
meanwhile, i bought a standing desk and it's mine, and it'll go to my next house and next job.
they can drop ship me a laptop and docking station, and if they wanna be nice throw me a couple hundred as a "office stiped", which would be way cheaper than buying business grade furniture.
