Good office chair and $150 are mutually exclusive. Find a used Herman Miller or spend the money on a new one. Your body will thank you in 10 years.

Pay $500-$600 for a refurbished Herman Miller. I spent at least that much buying $150-$200 chairs that didn't last or feel right. Bought a used Aeron and haven't regretted the spend for a second.

I got a used Herman Miller from eBay for that price (although that was just prior to the pandemic hitting so prices may well have gone up), but it was a great investment. The other thing I’d think about is making sure that if you buy a chair with hand rests they are adjustable height to fit with the desk height.

Can we expense the chair? Since I save office chair

Haworth Zody. But it's more than $200.

I'll sell you mine for $150

You can get away with a cheaper chair from Amazon, but get ergonomic support (i.e. seat cushion and lumbar support. I got a $175 one from Amazon and paid prob another $50 in the support and I’ve been very happy!

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

For the monthly expense reimbursement, how does it work if I choose it for my cellphone, is the amount added to my paycheck or I have to submit my bill each month in the expense account? Thanks

I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me.
