>> my hospitality in being flexible about homeworking to start with is being abused.

100%. You are now subsidising your employer and that is unacceptable.

I simply would not accept it without compensation in some form. And I mean the current situation, not the added abuse of Softphone.

I recommend strongly that you have a formal agreement with your employer about home working and associated expenses / implications. Electricity, space, broadband costs and anything else relevant.

You should factor in whether you find it an advantage or a disadvantage and whether or not you wish to do it. Your employer may not factor in your saved commuting costs unless he already pays for them, which would be a tax issue anyway.

Whatever agreement you make, it should be documented. I would have advised you a year ago that you had made a documented and limited offer to work from home during the apocalypse. I certainly recommend you do so now.

The agreement should be such that the Softphones, and whatever other garbage comes down the line, is allowed for and it should be equitable.

Do not ever subsidise your employer.

>>I suspect bean counters are driving this issue.

That, or a fairly stupid manager trying to be clever.
