Standing desk? I mean there may be easier paths the health than leaving the industry.
- kd5bjo 11y agoEvery industry has its own health hazards -- we're just now learning what they are for the computing industry. If these issues are as widespread as the article implies, it's something that needs to be attacked on a company- or industry-wide scale instead of by individuals trying to hack their way around the system. As an individual, on the other hand, leaving the industry until they get their act together could be the best course if your circumstances allow it. Altering your own work practices and lobbying your company to pay more attention to these issues are also worth considering.
- tertius 11y agoThat really depends on how detrimental the effects actually are and if "altering your work practices" can negate the effect then we probably shouldn't be quitting our jobs.
- URSpider94 11y agoLatest data says that standing desks don't improve health by all that much. It's movement that counts.
- tertius 11y agoGreat iteration. I would argue that moving requires a lot more will power and induces more decision fatigue than just standing. I don't think a treadmill as a desk is a great solution.
