Does anyone have a Aeron Chair? If so, is it worth it?

Yeah we have them at the office, they’re great highly recommend if you don’t care about price. There are probably better stuff out there if you care about value though.

We've got em in the office and I can say they are extremely comfortable and very adjustable. I'm small so it's hard for me to find something that actually fits me well. Not sure I could justify the pricetag for home use though. Guess it depends what your situation looks like, I don't have a ton of disposable income

Check on your local Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. Steelcase makes good chairs too in case you come across a deal on something

Aeron was good 20 years ago and still good now but plenty of modern chairs with more features nowadays. I have a steelcase gesture myself

Yes. I’ve worked from home for years and went through so many chairs before biting the bullet and getting an Aeron. Totally worth it. Be sure to watch a video on how to configure it for yourself.

Boston used to have them, they got replaced when we moved floors 3 years ago tho

I have one at home and I really enjoy it.

It’s ok. The design is a bit dated now and there are better out there.

You can buy refurbs for like $300 though.

$1200 for humanscale

Great overall chairs - they keep their value on the resale side. My husband likes his but it didn’t have all the features he wanted and opted to buy another chair. Now his aeron holds clothes. 🙄

Definitely worth it. Have had the same one in home office for 15ish years.

I have a Aeron at home and it’s nice, but we have Steelcase Gesture chairs in the office and personally I like the Steelcase better. I’ve been debating selling my Aeron and getting the SC Gesture, but it’s all personal preference. The price point is about the same between the two.

Nice part is they can easily be found on Craigslist normally. I bought a Steelcase for $350 at the start of stay at home.

All y’all with the Gesture in here are justifying my decision to wait until they get around to my order from ten days ago...

I think HM is very expensive. Check out Egrochair 2 by Autonomous.ai which is equally great for less than $300
Features & reviews are amazing and it’s a bang for the buck. I used a $25 reward for Autonomous.ai purchase. You can use this promo code at checkout:

Yes but they are hard to get quickly. Good luck

Hands down yes

I have 2 and love them (my dad works for the company). They come in 3 sizes too, which is awesome of you are very small or very tall.

Hi! My friend works as a recruiter for a recruiting agency, and he told me the company will let recruiters “pay debt”. So each month that you don’t close any deal, you get paid for your base salary, then you are also on debt. Once you close a deal for example 3 months later, then you have to pay your salary back for those 3 months that you did not close any deal. And also the Inmail fee on LinkedIn will be deducted from the commission too. Is this normal in recruiting agencies?

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.

Guesses as to what happens to remote hires when offices life comes back? Not talking the local WFH crowd, but full-time COVID hires that live elsewhere.

1) allowed to stay remote ad infinitum
2) option to relocate to the office, but not required
3) slowly phased out for local talent

Obviously if you have ladder-climbing ambitions you'll need to be in the office to play that game, but it gets more interesting for the work-to-live crowd.
