Also illegal here in Denmark, if you use it while working from home. Desks must be height adjustable. Your employer is responsible for providing ergonomically correct office equipment. Basically any influencer and YouTuber who's showing "clever" desk hacks or builds fails because their creations aren't height adjustable.
And my cat sleeps behind the laptop anyway.
- slopinthebag 7mo agoWait, what? Can you chose not to use a height-adjustable desk, and your employer is only responsible for offering you one, or are you 100% forced into using a height adjustable desk?
- mrweasel 7mo agoFor work you must use a height adjustable desk. It doesn't have to be electric, you just need to be able to adjust it to your correct work height. If you don't use it, and I don't know work at your kitchen desk, that's technically a violation of workspace rules. Your boss tell you to use a proper desk, because if they don't they can be fined. You also can't use the keyboard and trackpad on your laptop. You must be provided with a separate keyboard, mouse/trackpad/trackball and a monitor. Working on your laptop is for emergencies or very brief tasks.
- slopinthebag 7mo agoSo in other words my preferred way of working (laptop on couch) is literally illegal? What an insane nanny state lol.
- bitwize 7mo agoEuropean workplace ergonomics rules have been like this a long time. Computers were beige for decades because German ergonomics laws mandated office equipment in light, neutral colors.
- andai 7mo agoRemarkable. What else is illegal there?
- dboreham 7mo agoNot proper bacon, which seems to be illegal in the USA!
- cestith 7mo agoNot illegal, but much harder to find than the sliced, cured belly meat (often from the side of the belly) usually meant when we just say “bacon” without qualification. One can get Canadian bacon, cured side bacon, cured back bacon, uncured pork belly, uncured side meat, uncured back meat, turkey bacon, beef bacon, and several other things in bacon-like categories. If you just say “bacon”, though, you’re probably going to get pork belly meat cured with salt and/or some form of sugar, and possibly smoked.
- mrweasel 7mo agoYou can't stuff workers into rooms/offices without access to daylight.
- type0 7mo agoIn Sweden, not checking on your cat at least twice daily is illegal
