For those that don’t live in a studio, how many have their work desk inside their bedroom? How many rooms do you have? Always wanted to keep it out of the room but starting to run out of space.

Spouse (who is a lawyer) and 2 kids, so everyone was on zooms all day every day. I converted a dresser to a standing desk in our bedroom and it’s been great. We have 5 bedrooms and plenty of space, but people get very annoyed when you take calls in public areas.

I have a 1 bedroom and have mine in the living room. I like to keep my bedroom very sparse and peaceful, makes for a better sleeping experience.

At the beginning of WFH I had my desk in my room. I began taking naps on my lunch break and no longer wanted to do that. To remain productive, I moved the desk to an extra room to keep work and serenity separate. I have 3 bedrooms.

In house with main lvl plus a bsmt. 5 bedrooms total; 3 upstairs (all used) and 2 downstairs (guest rooms). The living room and kitchen upstairs are too small to fit in my desk. I have plenty of space downstairs but it’s too dark and depressing to remain there for 8+ hrs in the day. I also get better signal upstairs.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

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.

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

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.

AMA.
