Considering all my management besides my direct manager is remote, blows my mind that my coworkers and myself need to be in. I work in IT

I was quoted 1200 for just the install, my electrical box is at one of my house and it had to go through a room into my garage corner (about 20 feet). Was shocked, but apparently the cabling is really expensive. Luckily had someone that did it for a living and installed for free. So much better then using the normal wall outlet though
