I'm a newly hired executive working on site in an office. I've previously worked from home or in a cubicle in an open area. It's totally new to me to have a closed door larger space. I have an executive assistant and the ability to order whatever I want, supply wise. Could you share any recommendations on supplies, furniture, or organization items I should consider getting to make my space nicer or my life easier? I will be working fairly long hours. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Under desk treadmill. Monitor swivels that allow you to tuck your monitors away. Minimum two monitors. Nice pens. Bookcase. Water cooler if it’s not available. Same with coffee or latte maker. Mini fridge.
Depending on what your leadership style is (and the size of your office): table and chairs for team huddles. Comfortable chair for visitors. Candy containers or fruit bowl. These are all designed to get employees to drop by.

Also: comfortable, ergonomic office chair. Bonus point for your comfortable chair for visitors if it also is a recliner or has a tuck-away ottoman. That way you can put your feet up for a few minutes, especially for late hours. And lap desk to use in that chair.

Well first of all congrats on your job but sucks you have to be on-site. I don’t think any amount of money will you get me back in office. But congrats again!

I have two comfy couches in my office.
6-person conference table for team huddles.
Mini golf putting set.
An 8-foot Lovesac bean bag lounger.

We only go to the office 1-2x a week but I open my office to all engineers on-site and they’re free to use my toys when I’m not in.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
