Our old one bedroom apartment was 550 square feet and I can&#x27;t imagine what WFH for two people would&#x27;ve looked like there. We were very fortunate that we moved to a larger apartment in mid 2019.<p>Unfortunately a lot of people - especially in &quot;lower&quot; roles - didn&#x27;t have much of a choice once the pandemic hit and a lot of employers did the absolute bare minimum to support their employees. Even though we all had laptops but that was pretty much all we got. I had to spend quite a bit of money on furniture and other things to set up a workplace at home.<p>And both my (now former) coworkers and I realized that electrical power and heating can cost quite a bit when you&#x27;re sitting at home most of the time.<p>Once this is all over and people find more time to work on their career choices again I&#x27;d imagine people will re-evaluate how their companies did during the pandemic.
