Maybe. $1600 is still $1600 though, and the luxuries add up to real money. Especially worrisome when you're generating no real revenue and operating on other people's dime.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoIs your workstation a luxury? Bathrooms? Desks? Ergonomic chairs are no different. They are tools of your trade; don't skimp on tools.
- EpicEng 10y agoWhat a ridiculous comparison. No, I wouldn't say bathrooms are a luxury. A $1600 chair is. What world do you live in?
- toomuchtodo 10y agoOne where I want to be comfortable for the 8 hours a day I'm working and have leverage as someone with skills in demand.
- bonniemuffin 10y agoBathrooms are for spoiled corporate brats. Real scrappy startups just have poop buckets.
- rtpg 10y agoexcept they don't? You could choose to not buy 20 chairs and... get 1 engineer for a couple months? Meanwhile you have things like ad campaigns that have "unlimited" budgets. Hell, there's tripling staff size in a year without some matching revenue growth! Chairs don't kill startups.
- EpicEng 10y agoSure they do. Maybe not on their own, but wasteful spending has killed plenty of startups.
