Work from Home 🐟 (so, most of you) I’m about to switch jobs and take a 80% remote gig. Time to upgrade my desk and office chair. Thinking of moving to a desk / standing desk combo. Any insights into the best one out there? Thanks y’all.

It’s the Cadillac of office chairs for sure. I’m considering sleeping on mine in full recline… wife will probably have an issue with that though…

I like the Fully Jarvis myself. Put my own wood top on it.

I use a steelcase leap chair bought in 2018.

My wife has a 20 year old steelcase that was handed down by her mother.

We love both of them.

Fully is amazing. I have the L shaped desk. Best investment ever. I also bought the Aeron chair new. Now, I think it would’ve been ok if I would’ve bought it used

Hi All, I am 11 yoe, working at a medium sized product company and I got an offer from Thoughtworks (50% hike) for a Lead Consultant role in data engineer profile.

Being a mother, I have anxiety and nervousness about joining a service based company bcoz of doubts below.
1. Job security, considering the upcoming recession is it safe to join TW at this time?
2. How good is WLB at TW for a Lead Consultant? Approx working hours on a daily basis?
3. How flexible is TW for WFH?

Hey all! I have recently moved to a full time position wfh as a trial manager. It has been a struggle wfh so I am reconsidering my options. What positions are out there possible for transition for on site, except CRA?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
