Looking to buy a standing desk for my mom who works from home everyday. She has 2 monitors so ideally would want ample space for the monitors and a phone line. Any recommendations?

I bought an Uplift Desk. It’s mid tier, but definitely better built than the comparable IKEA/Scandinavian Designs I went to see in person. Also loved that I could customize it to the t.

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?
