I was about to b** and then realized that my employer provided me literally everything in this article. Yeah it would suck to only have a laptop provided. Parts of the office space, ie desk room and chair should be provided by the employee. Essential things which handle business operations should be provided by the employer, ie laptop screens, mouse, etc..

Why shouldn't a chair be provided by the employer? Chairs are ergonomically important and leaving it up to employees could lead to work injuries if they choose cheap chairs.

The chair and desk seem like the employer should handle that for environmental health and safety.

What happens when you quit?

I’m ok paying for that myself, my employer wouldn’t spring for the Aeron and adjustable standing desk I have anyway.

Do you get to keep your other equipment when you quit? The same people who setup your desk would take the desk and your computer at the same time? They are just movers, so its not like they need repo men or something.
