Is it standard practice for firm to request another background check? Been with firm for 4 years.

I was 10 years in and a client requested that my background check be updated when rolling on. So maybe some firms just do it again on an interval.

Yeah; standard practice for some clients. I have to get one prior to starting most projects.

If it was only some people on your team then it is probably periodic random testing required by the contract.

No

Depending on whether you are working with a new client that requires it or you’re in line for a promotion, another background check is not unusual.

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.
