Favorite office chair?
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!

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.
In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

I have a story.
In the army I was chilling in a barracks bay with about 8 other soldiers, trying to relax after a very exhausting day.
I made my bed, was reading and had a few itches here and there. I saw a bug and didn’t think much of it - being in and out of the field it didn’t bother me at all.
Then I started seeing a few so I got up and noticed I had blood on my pillow from smacking some dead. I looked at my bed and they were EVERYWHERE, soon we noticed them now crawling almost everywhere in the room and they were big too.
We stripped down and searched each other thoroughly, shook our sheets and carefully inspected our items and moved out
Fortunately I never saw one again but I was very paranoid the rest of the night
I moved into a fully furnished apt in college and we had them, didn’t realize for a few weeks until someone at work mentioned an outbreak in NYC, and I showed them my arms and they were like yup. Went home, found them in all the beds. Super told us the apt next to us had been infested a month before. We had to take every article of clothing to a laundry mat and dry on high heat. Apartment got treated and beds were wrapped with those protective covers. They never came back but we moved out after 1 year because of it. It is a pretty traumatizing experience and I always check every hotel room now. Found a bug at one very nice hotel one time and they moved me to a suite but I still slept on top of the bedding and could barely sleep.

Yes and do not immediately bring your suitcase inside your home. When you check into your hotel, do not put your suitcase on your bed or sofa as well.

OP, if bed bugs freak you out, don’t even think about looking up chair bugs. You checked for chair bugs, right?

Omg 😱. Dude, stop being cheap and buy yourself a new chair.

Bro it’s an 800 dollar chair. I am not really a fancy chair guy figured I would test a used out one first.

Bed bugs sounds so innocuous. By the time I finished watching YouTube video of these insidious creatures I felt they were crawling on me.
In fact I had to sleep with the lights on.
Has anyone had experience with bed bugs?
Rising Star
O1 I can see long haul flights being an issue damn.
Rising Star
Psa. Never grab stuff on the street.
Enthusiast
Bed bugs? Did you take it off the street? I’m confused.
Rising Star
Well if you google bed bugs. They basically can be found in 5 star hotel and are pretty prevalent in nyc.
Just never thought it was a serious issue.

There actually a status report in hotels in New York?

When I was young and dumb and poor and didn’t know my rights I lived in a bed bug infested apartment for 2 years (the bed bugs would show up on and off, not the entire time). It was an absolute nightmare and I am scarred for life. I had never experienced them before and couldn’t understand why I was getting so many bites all over me. Finally flipped over a sheet and saw multiple of them and on the seams of my mattress and about died thinking about the fact that I was literally sleeping with bugs for weeks and weeks. The landlord did extermination and it would go away for a while but would always come back. I got to be so good at being eaten by them that I would wake up in the middle of the night after I was bit and find them crawling on my shirt. Even though that has been over a decade and obviously none of them survived my multiple moves any time I get any bite I freak out and check my mattress just in case. Think about living on and off for years feeling itchy constantly. I am so scarred for life

M3 me too. I feel itchy too. Damn.

Get it out of your apartment now. Since, you’re in NYC, If you live in an apartment building, your landlord should cover the cost of a exterminator.
Check your tenants rights.
Be strong! Keep the chair!!

I through the chair back in the truck. Threw in 2 1500w space heaters and some fans.
I also stuck whatever was near the chair just to be safe.
Basically turned that sucker into a convection oven. I got it 128 degrees F.
Baked it for 30 min just to make I killed everything in there.

Aren’t bed bugs on.... beds?
Rising Star
At1. That’s what I thought. These suckers are in offices. Sometimes in cars 🤯

Did you buy it from someone else?
Rising Star
Yeah. I bought from a stranger

I’ve never had bed bugs but to get rid of smells/bugs (including bed bugs) my parents put everything outside on a sunny/hot day. Mattress, rugs, sheets, cloth based furniture. Not sure if that’s an option for you in NYC though. An exterminator might be a better option.
