Uplift desk. Love mine. And it also looks very nice.

like

Uplift is the best

I like my Fully Jarvis a lot. It’s solid and has been really reliable. My recommendation would be to watch reviews on YouTube as there are pros and cons to each brand depending on your budget. E.g. for me desk wobble at height was a priority and some brands handle that better than others. I will note that every quarter or so I have to unplug it as the control screen will go blank and needs a reset.

You’ll find that many brands use the same Chinese made base.

I went with an iMovr desk because it’s American made, with higher quality motors and was reviewed to be more stable than those with the Chinese base.

Don't cheap out with a random Chinese Amazon desk. The motor will fail and you'll be stuck wherever it is

Pretty happy with my VariDesk

Same.

Autonomous is reasonably priced and I have had it for over two years with no issues.

I got a vivo desk and it was pretty easy to assemble. I purchased the arm for the single screen I have (27 inches) with no issues.

DeskHaus is a smaller company that has really high quality desks. Their owner is pretty active online, so I’d check out some of their desks

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?

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.

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

Anyone have a good office chair recommendation? Really not trying to spend more than $150 but willing to go to $200 if there is a really good recommendation.

Thanks!

Hey beautiful people,

What do you recommend?

There may come the point where constant meetings, being around the same people, or the same environment will cloud your creativity. When this happens, you may need time to yourself in a different environment to think clearly without any disturbance. 

Great ideas can wake you up in the middle of the night, during a shower, while walking in the park, or any other setting outside of a meeting.

I’ve worked at the same firm for almost 5 years. I’ve received an end of year bonus of varying sizes- my first year, my paycheck was doubled. The last 3 years, I’ve received 25k-30k bonuses. This year I received a bonus in April (20k) and one in July (15k) but I still expected an end of year bonus. I didn’t get it even though this has been my most profitable year yet. Should I just assume those earlier bonuses were INSTEAD of an end of year bonus or should I ask my boss?
