Herman Miller Embody is better than the aeron. And yes I have purchased both to attest to this. It's 100% worth it. One of my favorite possessions. Ey fitness fund will pay for 75% too

No.. Laura is crap. Had significant back problems after using one of their chairs

Have an X-Chair. It's amazingly comfortable. I have a few complaints about the overall functionality but all in all it's a great chair. Can sit all day in it and I don't hurt. No swamp ass. It's incredible.

I have an ikea one that does the trick, would’ve gotten an Aeron during those office closure sales if past me knew how long lockdown would be though..

Come to Chor Bazar, nice and very cheap chairs.

Would it be too much if I asked my parents if I can get a small work desk to keep at their house while I live there? I'd be so much more productive.

Tell the truth: are you more productive at home than the office? How much more? How about your coworkers? Are they more productive in your estimation? And lastly, your whole team - is it more productive in a remote environment?

I recently interviewed for a AE role with an international company Home Office-Dubai, HR in NYC I interviewed with the recruiter & hiring manager at the same time; interview went well. I sent thank you notes and received a response saying they would let me know In a couple of days. I noticed they reposted the job and was bummed, but out of nowhere I received a email saying they are working on something on the backend and would have a answer for me soon! That was 2 wks ago not sure what to think

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

Home office revamp recommendations:
1. Autonomous standing desk: honestly the best desk ever! Order arrived in 3 days, even better quality than I imagined. I got the L shape one, fits 3 monitors and a laptop comfortably on one side. Now I stand while taking calls. I wish I had it last year during busy season. Oh I have a promo code if anyone is interested: R- 200les
2. Steelcase gesture office chair: same chair as PwC office.
