What does your cost estimate show? Have you measured how much electricity your home rig takes? What else changes between office life and WFH life?

I haven't done an estimate yet as we start this week. We pay on a meter so the electric is pretty expensive and as we rent not much I can do about it.

Thats mostly it...I bring lunch in and thats the greatest expense.

So it sounds like, in your own words, there is literally no difference in cost between the two other than perhaps a 1% delta in your electricity bill.

If you really want to pursue compensation from your employer, of course you have every right to do that. Is that something you feel is worth chasing down?

If the company feels you're giving them extra headaches over WFH, which is a situation a lot of people would love to have, what does that do to your reputation with your managers and leaders? Does it help or hurt your long-term prospects with the company?
