Going to be off the road for an extended period, working remotely. Need recommendations on a good chair for home office beyond just Aeron knockoffs.

Look at the rest of Herman Miller’s line (maker of Aeron). There are less expensive options. Or just splurge - it has great resale value if you ever don’t want it

Steelcase makes good ones, what price point? This is probably the most impactful thing to spend extra on in your home office, but there are plenty of ergonomic brands out there

I got a 2nd hand aeron at an office sale for half the cost. Other than the real deal, I’d say the $100-150 chairs at office/depot/max have usually done me well. Since you’ll be off the road, work in some exercise time daily, that should help too.

I have an Aeron and it is worth it. Comes with lifetime guarantee.

Test drive the ergonomic chairs at DWR. Just did this at the suggestion of my architect husband and ordered the Setu chair though it has not yet arrived.

I recently bought the new high back Herman Miller Cosm and *love* it. Was a little wary because it was still a new design and I didn’t like their last one that much, and no regrets whatsoever

Do you know what is the salary range for a Senior Manager II at Walmart Home Office?

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?
