OMG! How many times has someone asked about an office chair over the last few weeks?! Undoubtedly you’ll get the following response:

Deloitte/ PwC user: hey I have this great referral for this autonomous chair,check it out

Everyone else: Aeron, Steelcase Gesture, lawn chair 🤣

funny

Thanks for the TL;DR...was not aware people post about office chairs on the reg and have never seen/encountered one myself but thanks for the summary so I didn’t have to go back and look 😂😂

Try to find a used/refurbished one that usually goes for $1000 at your local furniture store. Should be easy to find these days

What do you guys recommend are things to look for that distinguishes one from another? Not sure how to decide between the diff options recommended? Will prob be ordering online and can’t test in store

Nothing beats sitting in the chair, unfortunately. Not all chairs work for all bodies, but in general you want a chair that lets you adjust it (seat height, seat depth, seat angle, armrest up and down and horizontally, back tilt angle and tension) so that you can make it work for you.

Sounds like you’re using your RAC well 😉

Indeed 😊

I just got the Staples Rutherford chair for $99, on sale from $169.99. It’s really comfortable

Seriously OP since you will likely spend 5-8 hours a day in the chair, worth doing a search in FB for previous post.

A good chair will prevent issues like hip,leg, and back pain among other things. Worth it to Take the 10 min to research and read.

Was in bad shape and couldn’t wait for Autonomous chair and got one from staples for about $170 and I’m about to order the autonomous one. My current chair is mesh seating and uncomfortable enough that I have to cover mesh. Good luck.

I’m no chair expert but pretty sure they’re the same, the two people just typed them differently lmao

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

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?
