The term 'work-from-home setup' became mainstream during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) and remains prevalent in both American and Brazilian corporate vocabulary. In Brazil, companies increasingly provide allowances for home office equipment. The concept represents a significant shift from traditional office culture in both countries, with growing emphasis on ergonomics and work-life balance. In the US, companies often offer stipends for home office furniture; in Brazil, this practice is becoming more common among multinational and tech companies.
