Grabbed two monitors and my ergo keyboard/mouse and been WFH all week. Honestly not that much different than being in the office. Only downside is I can't just walk down few cubicles and talk to a coworker about technical question and whatnot, and ******g Comcast keeps going down. So I have to hot spot. Only thing that would have made this better if I could take desktop home instead of remote desktop in to it over VPN.
I've got four direct reports. One just came back from Dubai and I have to figure out how to get her desktop set up at home. I think IT can install the VPN client not I'm not 100% yet.
Other guy I don't trust to not goof off and I have to keep a serious eye on (he's on an improvement plan for poor productivity and stealing time), also has a desktop he was figuring out how to take home on Friday. He managed to do basically nothing for about 5 hours before calling IT with a computer issue to finally try to fix it. I'm trying to cut people slack right now though so I didn't make a thing of it.
Other two have laptops and took docking stations and monitors and stuff, and are my better employees. I'm considering retrieving my entire setup, but right now I have the laptop and one monitor, no docking station. If this goes on I'll have to get a more permanent set up though.
