Ironically, when I worked at Bloomberg, I failed to get a stand up desk for myself. HR made people jump through so many hoops. A note from this doctor and an approval from that specialist, on and on. I tried for months. Then I brought in a swiss ball to sit on and it got taken away. And all of that was in 2014, not that long ago.

Huh? Why?

Anecdotes like this make me hope I never have to work in a large company again.

You bought in a Swiss ball and it got taken away? Can you expand upon this, I've been looking at positions there any input on this would be great.
