Wow! I guess they misinterpreted the definition of "trendy" and lost a good employee in the process! Congrats on your success!I started my own Web Design Studio (which now handles over 250+ accounts, reputation management, SEO, Print Design, and many other things) when a company I worked for made everyone switch from chairs to yoga balls. Again, to take away our desk chairs... and switch them to YOGA.... BALLS. When I asked why I couldn't have a regular old chair, I was told by the owner of the business (which is a large marketing firm out of Boston), that all chairs "had to match". I resigned that day. Im 300lbs, 6' 1", sleeved tattoo'd, and so on. Yoga ball? ME!?!?! No. Never. Id fall of it.
I made a promised to myself that I'd never put an employee through such nonsense.
14 years later.... were yoga ball free at my spot. HAHA!
(and, ahem, of course the forthcoming Teslas!)
