I've told employers (in the past) that I will provide my
own ergonomic chair and mouse. It looks strange to
haul your chair to work on the bus, but I've done it. I'm
much happier and healthier for it.
If you can get your employer to pay for ergonomic
furniture and devices, go for it. But if you can't, do
yourself a favor and use your own equipment.
