Standing desk from Autonomous is decent and not too expensive. Check with your local used office furniture place for chairs if you can. They’re way cheaper then buying new somewhere.

Thnx, Autonomous is running in back orders and earlier shipping date is July 1

IKEA has a couple of nice options :) they are also pretty sleek looking

Tracking. Can you share links guys?
Thanks. Lol

Ikea has struggled with their ordering system. They were apparently mid-migration when Covid hit. So the click and pick up is at 30%. You can check here for availability (if your store is not open to shop in) https://ikea-status.dong.st/

Has anyone tried any of the Ikea standing desks (either the electric one or the hand crank one)?

Just bought a used Herman Miller Aeron chair from local office furniture dealer. $375. Looks like new.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.
