I had my laptop dock/hub break, and applied for a replacement, and was denied because supposedly that's not approved for work-from-home employees.

I told my employer that I wouldn't use my external monitors or mouse because they didn't provide methods to use those with my USB-C only laptop.

They decided that giving me a replacement dock/hub was in their best interest.

Even better was they suggested I buy my own (using my money) and expense it after the fact.

Told them fat chance because it wasn't approved and I did not want to risk/front my money for the company.

I've done the same thing with a mobile phone number. Works great. The company tries to pass off bullshit company costs to you, but they know $150 for a dock, or $60 a month for mobile service is huge payback on your productivity. They'll pay if they really want you to have something.
