Does your company have an ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan)? If so, do you buy into it? I am trying to decide if it is beneficial or not or if it is just a ploy.

I buy into it because of the stock matching. Otherwise I wouldn’t buy it. There’s far better stocks out there with better dividend yield and equity growth

Not anymore, but I used to have the option. I would sell right away and call it a day. It really comes down to the fine print, though, of how it's structured.

I did that at a former job. If you believe in the company to the extent that you think it has a future, it's not a bad idea. Obviously, you don't want that to be the only stock purchases you make, and you should only buy what you can afford. And it all comes down to what the incentives are in terms of a discounted price.

I agree with this completely. If you believe in the company then there is likely longevity that is worth investing in.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
