Anyone have a recommendation on great standing desks and ergonomic chairs for small spaces? Looking for something where the bottom part of the desk (depth) is around 20” or so. Willing to spend up to $1k total.
Thanks!

Thinking about going independent and operating out of my home office. Does anyone have any thoughts to share about that? I’m wondering about clients coming to my home and FINRA issues.

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

Is there any one time home office setup allowance still provided for recent new joiners?

In an attempt to be healthier, I built a permanent standing desk. Now, once every couple hours my Apple Watch reminds me “it’s time to stand up” and I feel superior to all those chair sitters out there.

Hey folks , I am about to buy am office chair for my personal use , would love to get some recommendations from you'll
I wish to buy an ergonomic chair with my budget being upto 20 k
Do let me know any recommendations if you would have.

What’s your favorite WFH footwear? Any recommended brands for a chilly home office?

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

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?

Working on a regular desk and my laptop has been killing my back and neck for last few years. Finally spent a couple hundred dollars on a standing desk, wireless keyboard, and back/neck heating pad to alleviate the pain. Very hopeful working will be much better now.

Any recommendations for a work desk?
Not looking for something too big or pricey. Easy assembly / disassembly is a plus.
I see foldable desks going for $100. Any foldable standing desks out there?

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).

Have you found using a standing desk increase your productivity? How else do you increase your productivity? I am so distracted all the time

Are there actually tax cuts switching from home office in NYC to Hoboken?

Hi guys, any update on work from office

I keep watching Schitt's Creek reruns now and then. It makes me feel warm and mushy, but also super lonely. So tired of being perpetually single. I know it's been posted about here a bunch of times before but it still sucks. Venting and knowing you're not alone, helps a tiny bit. =) Also does anybody else thing Patrick is essentially just a 'too good to be true' fantasy boyfriend Dan Levy dreamed up and put on the show?

Many of my health & fitness colleagues are finding themselves out of work. The next big question is, will they ever go back to a gym or health club.
