    Welp they are making me go back to the office on June 1st. I really don't want to and don't see the point when I've been far more productive at home than at the office.

    Not sure what the normal prices are, but I came across Jackery products that appear to be $50 off on Amazon. Atleast the 240 and 500 appear to be.

    @Brian422 @tweakit88 i think y’all mentioned them a while back

    I was really hoping to continue working from home. I've really enjoyed not dealing with people in the office and on the road going to work.

    yeah I don't see why they wouldn't consider the option if you're being equally if not more productive. saving on operating costs...safety costs...etc etc by not having you in the office lol. Amy keeps crossing her fingers she gets to be a permanently at home worker.

    haha I'm not productive at home, and really get out of routine if I work from home..so I prefer coming in honestly. it would be nice to have a "break" every now and then and be home for a week maybe but not full time.

    I’d never get anything done if I worked from home! I need to be surrounded by steel and overhead cranes to get in the work zone.

    nice! It’ll be good to have OEM spares in the rotation so you don’t have to pull off the parts store spare to put in the OEM one when you get home from breaking one.

    just looked at the pricing on their website compared to Amazon. The 500 is $100 off and there is a $50 coupon for it on amazon for a total of $150 off.

    If you want to sell one of CVs to me as a spare, I’d take one!

    Wanting to work from home is likely a very personal thing. The commute, co-worker personalities, home atmosphere are only a few of the determining factors. I enjoy my co-worker and like that when I leave the workplace, I can normally leave work behind until I return. My commute is 17 miles but only two red lights. :cool: Also, being in manufacturing I can't really work from home(even though 50% of my job is desk work).

    Coming soon
    Between having my ACL replaced in November and now this shut down, I am done with working at home. I can work from home for the most part when I want, even before all of this, but I have found I can separate my work and home life better when they aren't in the same building constantly. I am going on week 11 of being at home and found a lot of my at home habits have changed because I am at home so much. Gaining 10 lbs hasn't helped either. At this rate I may need to regear the truck for my own weight in 6 months, lol.
