I see a lot more of them continuing to work well into their 60s and 70s, sometimes because they haven't planned for retirement, but more often because it keeps them busy, active, and young. Retiring to the golf course at 55 has gone out of fashion for economic and health (increased longevity) reasons.

- noxToken 11y agoI try my absolute best to minimize the incoming damage from this line of work. Every 20-30 minutes, I grab my laptop and move to a high desk. There are accompanying chairs for them, but they are the perfect height for working while standing. Every hour or so, I find a stopping point, take the stairs down a level (sometimes two), walk the length of the building, and return back via another flight of stairs. It's not perfect, but I'm hoping that these position changes and bouts of walking are working for the better. It shouldn't be harmful at the very least.
