Aeron. Worth it.

I went for a secretlab. Just as good as HM imo (had the aeron and the standard black office chair at my previous job), but for only ~$350 for the short person version

Steelcase. Also worth it. Definitely could find a cheaper ergo chair but it’s comfortable, love the aessthetic and I feel it will hold up well.

I had a Leap chair and it was amazing. I have a Body Bilt now and I despise it.

I have an Embody chair. Love love love it. Best investment. Had over 5 years and still going strong.

I suggest trying out different chairs and figuring out what your preferred sitting position is.

Where does one go to try out different luxury office chairs

Worth it. I stopped traveling regularly about 6 years ago and bought the chair then and it’s held up great.

If you don't wanna spend an ungodly amount (<$300), I'd recommend Ikea Markus. Really sturdy, long-lasting, ergonomic, and comfortable. Not the prettiest but really the best value out there imo. Steer away from the Autonomous chair. Their reviews are fake and the material is quite cheap for the price your paying.

Sorry associate 1 you’re getting roasted

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

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?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making? I hesitate to just throw out current salary + 20% bc I’d be asking for almost $190k for a SC role and I know that would be quite a huge ask for a SC @ B4, even for tech
