Anyone with an Uplift Desk willing to walk me through pluses and minuses, things they wish they didn't buy with it, things they later added and wished they did initially? I'm considering an L-shaped V2 for the home office but the amount of add-ons is kind of overwhelming.

I bought one.

Things I added that I liked:
- solid wood (looks better)
- advanced keypad (saves different position)
- got one power grommet one cover

Not necessary
- got the bamboo board for free but never use it
- would consider getting monitor arms

like

I've had mine several years. I got the monitor arms that is one connection at the bottom but holds two monitors and I love that.

When assembling, make sure everything is screwed in really tight. I didn't do that and every once in awhile I have a wobble but I'm too lazy to take it apart again. It's a problem with my assembly, not with a desk. As a whole it is extremely sturdy.

Did either of you go to the showroom? How'd you decide between desk top material?

Also considering the sound absorbing material but it looks a little hokey in the pics online, did either of you get that?

I didn't go to the showroom, I'm not even sure they had one when I ordered it probably 7 years ago. I knew I wanted the bamboo top.

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

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?

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!
