I'm still not clear why employers are so hesitant about issuing that for those of you who are employees? Does it fuck them in some way to have their employees claim it? Why so much push back?

Many employers can barely issue pay stubs. Anything like this feels beyond thier capabilities.
And what exactly are the tax implications to an employer for issuing a T2200?
It's my understanding that there has been recent cases where employees have been allowed to deduct T2200 expenses without a form when the employer unreasonably withheld sign-off or simply did not respond to the request.
From a liability perspective I wouldn't sign one for someone if asked too as I believe if it was misrepresented you can receive anywhere from a small fine to 50% of the understated taxes owing.
Possibly not for the employer. The confusion around the T2200 is if the employee was required to work from home, or were they just permitted. If they were not explicitly required the form cannot be given.
Then, if any employer provided equipment for use in the home, it comes to the question if that is a taxable benefit if it was not explicitly required. A few of the larger accounting firms have released some advice on this exact situation.

That's one example from Deloitte. They got into just enough detail on it to get an idea of potential pitfalls. Then, of course, contact us to help you sort it out.
All of the information is available from the Canada Revenue Agency, a little harder to find on your own. You can also contact the CRA to ask any questions if something is not clear. I have done that several times in the past, they can be quite helpful at times. This was several years ago though.
I was ready to physically attend a workplace today, but had a coughing fit before I coukd get out the door. Guess it's WFH for a while longer.
How many people (on beyond) are actually working in an office?
I go to my office occasionally and I have noticed increasing amount of traffic and ever some jams along glenmore in the mornings.
Haven't stopped going to the "office". Granted, it's up north mixed with a lot of field time too but going to work hasn't changed for me. Other than safety protocols obviously.
