every now and then i remember the guy who, 11 years ago, in my first week in NY, saw me unknowingly drop my wallet, keys attached, while rushing to get on the L at Bedford and scooped them up and absolutely fastballed them into the train as the doors closed

If you’re full time WFH, you’ll prob pay for your workspace and equipment—maybe with the exemption of your actual computer—out of your own check, and you’re also not creating a need for your employer to supply those things to you in an office. You should prob get a raise.

And she’s right—if you have someone in her position in front of press, they have a clearer reason to ask about it, and she can bring it up if they don’t. Especially someone who has enough power to speak freely, which is not really anyone but her among active athletes. It’s a lot.
