Gaming / race-car chair.. I've had one for the past few months (pre-covid) and never experienced back pains or numb legs from sitting too long. One of the best ~$100 you'll spend!

I’d be careful with this, I once spent 170 dollars on a gaming chair on amazon and it was the most uncomfortable POS I’ve ever sat in. I recently went to office max and picked up a 270$ ergonomic chair and it was money well spent. I’d definitely recommend being able to actually sit in something before committing to spending good money on a chair.

I highly disapprove of the autonomous ergochair .. get HM if you can find it cheap or push the budget a little bit.

I bought both; autonomous and HM. The autonomous is not comfortable at all. Neither my husband nor I could sit comfortably in it after a few months of use. HM is far superior, so I don’t know how autonomous has so much support. Probably mostly marketing ? The fact that they give referral bonus might skew the online support as well.

A lot of people on the thread only say “ I hear great things about autonomous”. I have yet to see someone who bought it and wholeheartedly/genuinely supports it. When I do, they usually aren’t comparing it to a more expensive, real quality chair like HM. If you have the extra cash to spend, HM is definitely worth it.

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!

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out.

I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
