iPod workers lose their seats

Aeron chair - ValleywagAn Apple insider reports a cruel game of musical chairs at the iPod group. From now on, everyone gets just one rolling chair. The decision's retroactive — that's right, people are losing their office chairs to save Apple a buck (or satisfy some administrator's lust for power).

So maintenance men are walking through the halls, pulling second chairs from people's offices — sometimes taking the engineer's chair and leaving the lesser guest chair — and replacing them with cheap Office Depot jobbies.

Word is, folks aren't happy, but no one's iPod-whipped a worker yet.
