If you get a 10% gain in productivity, the chair/desk already paid for itself. It also replaces both a chair and a desk, so the total cost is less than $7k.

Over a life span of 5 years, that's less than a 10% of take-home salary. Non-Ergonomic chairs have a high future cost for your health but I guess doing that math is not humans strongest feature.

10% gain in productivity =/= 10% gain in compensation, most people already have a chair/desk so replacing their function does not automatically make it cheaper. Seems like you're doing more of a math problem instead of applying this to actual people.
