Take the wheel

Feel like I should throw in that my SO (currently up for promo at ACN and got an internal people role at M) has been consulting for 5 years and is pretty exhausted, approaching burnout. Just for context!

Yeah afaik they get bonuses upto 5% while client facing roles are in the 15-30% range

But internal roles also get smaller annual base bumps, generally in the 2-3% range

I'll be the client. 😎

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
