I have an Aeron and love it. You can typically find them used on Craigslist for $300

Affordable is a weird word here... can you give your price range?

Staples has some good one. I find that the fancy one with cushions suck. The cushy eventually sag and becomes less supportive overtime

Why are chairs so expensive!? I don’t want to spend more than $500 on a chair yet a lot of the good ones are like $1000! That’s ridiculous

While I don't know what the gross margins are like for office chairs, I would suspect storage and transportation (freight) make up a good chunk of that. Same could be said for desks, mattresses, and other furniture - the good stuff are all heavy, but sturdy!

Need advice: do you tell your manager that you’re unhappy or do you just leave?

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
