A remote employee's home became an unexpected storage facility for their company's office supplies, sparking a viral discussion online. Initially asked to store a few monitors, the employee soon received multiple shipments of equipment, including a large office chair.

The situation worsened when the company attempted to deliver a full metal filing cabinet to the employee's small apartment. The employee refused this delivery, stating their home was not a corporate storage solution and that a warehouse should be rented.

Following the refusal, the company ultimately arranged for a proper warehouse to store the items, resolving the employee's unusual ordeal. The incident underscores the importance of respecting remote employees' personal spaces.
