I'll take a startup that doesn't waste its money on overvalued furniture over the opposite any day of the week. Shows they're not stupid about spending money. I've seen the opposite too often to count.
You can get the Aeron after the money starts really flowing in.
- nottorp 2y agoWell, it doesn't have to be an Aeron, but if a startup wants someone to gamble half their compensation or more and fuck up their back with long hours in cheap and painful office chairs, they may not be able to get good employees.

- ThrowawayR2 2y agoYou'll sing a very different tune once you reach an age where parts of your body start sending you twinges that they didn't before. Workplace ergonomics matter. I'm not going to sacrifice my health for any kind of employer, startup or not.
- AceJohnny2 2y agoI am at that age. And I stand by my point; you can have ergonomics with Ikea products.
- DanielHB 2y agoThe main problem with those Aeron chairs is that most people don't have fixed sitting arrangements in the office anymore. With hybrid remote work people just take the first chair available and people don't bother tuning those every single day. So all those knobs on those chairs are not only useless, but harmful. My office uses the "Markus" IKEA chair and those are great, fit well with most people and only has two adjustments possible: height and inclination.
