I should give you the win because of your explanation but he beat you to it

No he solved it! I came up with the explanation only after I saw the solution.
That is why I posted it as a reply to megaadams post.

I should've. "Bran" was lingering in my swapped out non-native memory pages. Well done Manfred!

I need to provide a picture of my desk and chair at home along with 2 page long form before I can be granted a right to work from home ( This implies that whenever I work from home I have to sit at that desk on that very chair ). That is the new policy decided by culture council.

meh, seems like a minor procedural annoyance in exchange for working from home.... better than a long commute.

I do work from home time to time and till date no one asked for such a stupid thing. What will the picture prove ?

It doesn't prove anything, but if it enables you to keep working from home... why not?

It proves that the manager that came up with the idea is a complete idiot, for starters.

That you are going to do this in a professional manner, rather than taking your lappie to bed with you?
It also may be an "Elf and Softy" matter - checking that your new working environment is suitableabd safe, so you don't sue the company later.
Still stupid though ... How will they know it's not a stock picture from t'interwebs?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You were spot-on about the workplace safety thing in not taking the laptop to bed.
I contracted for one of the major banks here, and the form we'd sign to work from home specifies that they could send someone in person during working hours on the bank's behalf to examine your setup at home! Word was that they actually do a couple of these things once every six months or so.
If someone was found sitting on a mattress and working, they would lose their privilege to work from home.

Labor laws in Australia require that an employer provide the employees a safe workplace. By allowing you to work from home, they're burdened with the responsibility of ensuring that your setup at home is safe. At least to an extent that you won't cause yourself some sort of injury (RSI?) while working from home.
They'd possibly be looking at desk height, ergonomics of the chair, etc. and see if you have a comfortable keyboard and mouse if you're going to use a laptop for extended periods of time. Remember that if you injure yourself while working from home, they're responsible for that as you were working for them at the time.
I think very little is being asked of you in exchange for the freedom of working from home. Remember - your employer has FAR better things to do (like making money) than ensuring you'll work safely at home.
Nobody is forcing you to fill those forms - you could do them if you'd like to work from home, or go to work every day. It's not a right, but a privilege to work from home, so quit whining at once.

I don't mind providing the picture. I find the whole thing rather unusual as there is nothing that will prevent me from not using that desk while working from home. I might as well work from my bedroom. I am laughing at the stupidity of law makers that think just because one has provided evidence of desk that one is always going to use it. And when you are traveling interstate and say you work from plane between your journey do I need to take picture of plane seats or airport lounge ? I mean how stupid the whole thing sounds when you think logically.

As I said in my response to Griff, they *could* come unannounced, in person, on a random day, when you're working from home, to ensure that your setup is what you claim it to be. If found otherwise, they could stop you from working from home that point onwards (which is fair).

They're doing this only because the law requires them to ensure your safety. Yes, you could send them a photo of a nice ergonomic setup and work from home by sitting on your roof instead. But then if you fall down from the roof and break a limb or two, they're not required to care for you as you lied to them about your work setup (you've signed a document). This shrives them from any problems arising out of your injury and you can't file some kind of a lawsuit against them claiming negligence in workplace safety. You could then go onto the public healthcare system's waiting list to stitch your arse back together and wait for an undetermined amount of time. In this case, your employer would be the one laughing at your stupidity.

I don't think you're legally required to setup your laptop on the food tray and do some debugging. It is your problem if you did so without seeking your employer's expressed consent, which involves filling out forms and sending them photos.
In reality, they don't truthfully care if you sit on a floatation device in the pool and work so long as they don't have to deal with it if you get electrocuted.

Nothing, if it would help I'm going to send a picture of my own desk.
Anyway you're a lucky guy, Carlo is a bit envious.

Google images for home office and every time send a new picture. Sorted.

A few months after I was diagnosed, the place I was working allowed me a trial return to work, working from home. It didn't work out - I was still unable to complete the work in a timely manner - but before they allowed it, the sent a person out to examine my home working environment. Not only the desk and the chair had to be good, the lighting was important, the work area had to be free from obstacles, and I needed fast access to first aid and a fire extinguisher. Apparently, if there are any accidents or injuries while working from home, the employer is still responsible.
Cheers,
Mick

Similar here, but in practice you just fill in the form and for the rest you do what you want. (of course you need to do the actual work)
