Spent $350 on an ergonomic chair and now I don't hate my desk job as much

My old boss at the warehouse made us stand for 10 hour shifts with no breaks, so I swore chairs were a scam. Then I switched to an office gig and my back was screaming after three days, so I caved and bought a used Steelcase from a liquidation place. Has anyone here actually gotten their employer to cover a chair upgrade or did you just eat the cost?

I mean, I tried the whole "acting like my chair was a medical necessity" route with my boss and got a blank stare and a "we have chairs in the break room." So I just ate the cost of a used Aeron from some guy on Craigslist who looked like he was selling me stolen property. Probably worth it though. My tailbone went from feeling like a drumstick to just kinda numb.
