> I had a space dedicated to work in that my employer paid for. Now I must make a part of my house that space and foot the bill.

And equipment. I have so far forked out $1000s and there is deductions or rebates where I live for any of it. I have to pay full VAT (25%) unless I can somehow get through the bureaucracy of fortune 500 company to get them to pay for it, in which case I have to find space in my 40 m² apartment for both my stuff and things from employer.

It is seriously messed up and the fault mainly lies with how governments are implementing lockdowns.
