Is there a real difference between a $150 and $1,500 office chair? Want to prevent myself herniating my discs but also get something sustainable and built to last.

I’ve had Aerons since the early 2000s and have from time to time tried other chairs. Nothing come close in my opinion. Got them for everyone at the office.

I mean think about it! You spend more time in your chair than you do doing just about anything else, including sleeping. Plus the good chairs are nearly indestructible. It’s a no brainer and not the thing to skimp on. Your body will thank you.

Yes. It’s not linear though. If you spend $300-$600 you can get a quality chair [look at Autonomous]

Or the second hand market for aeron chairs is great.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

I need to help her level up her written communication skills. Any suggestions on books, resources, strategies? She is learning by doing and takes feedback but I want more supports for her.
