Do it! So worth it. I have a $400 Veridesk at work and a $700 Ergotron at home and both are wonderful.

I bought a Jarvis adjustable height standing desk on amazon 3 years ago and I love it. Totally worth it!

I got a $40 thing from Amazon a few years ago. It sits on the desk and you can configure it to different heights. It really just fits a laptop and a mouse, but if you're only looking for a place to mix up your routine for an hour here or there, it's great. If you're looking for a place to work from for most of the time, I don't know if I'd recommend it.

I bought this years ago. For conference calls, I love it. But if I had to do some serious, extended work in excel or ppt, I don't think I'd last long.

There are other versions that are more of a flat elevated surface where you could fit your laptop, a monitor, notepad, mug, etc. They are heavier and take up more room, so not what I was looking for. But it gets you closer to the full out standing desks, if price or space are concerns.

Check out the Husky work table at Home Depot. People have been raving about them for being so cheap. I believe you can get them for $200-250

Bought Tresanti stand up desk from Costco for $200 over black friday. What a steal

Buy a converter- you place it on your regular desk and can adjust the height. I found one for $80 on amazon

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?

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
