No but suicide is.

>>16223712
Yes, but pair it with a good anti-fatigue mat and a sit/stand type stool to give your back a rest every once in awhile. I've been standing at my workstation for almost 2 years and haven't ever put my desk in the down position (mainly because i've used the underside as a place to store more crap) I've got more energy and feel less tired when standing.

>>16223712
Definitely. More concentration, plus sitting lowers your lifespan.

>>16223712
no it's absolute bullshit that managers made to laugh at their worker ants while they lounge at their execute desk

>>16223731
Seconding everything in this post.

Thirding you glorious faggots

jewish lies to kill the chair industry

>>16223712
Just improvise one (by stacking some shit) and try it out. You will quickly realize how superior it is. However, you should ideally alternate between a sitting and standing battlestation. Don't just do one or the other.

There's no going back once you've taken the standpill.

>>16223712
whats that mat under her feet for ?
should have been replaced by one of those woke male feminist basedbois from her office.

>>16223875
kek this
>>16223963
this as well. Poor chairs...

>>16223712
the higher you use it, the more wobbly it is, especially if it is only a 2-post version.

if you insist on using a standing desk in an office environment, pair it with a really obnoxious chair, since you are already committed to looking like a world class asshole.

>>16223712
It's just a ploy of putting more desks into a room under the pretext of improving health and concentration.

>>16223712
t. Big Chair shill

>>16223963
why would jews kill the jewish chair industry?

>>16223731
i also store boogers under my desk

>>16226307
If you work alone it's ok and advisable. If you work in a cublicle farm forget about it. You standing will make the other workers nervous.

>>16226997
Didn't mean to quote the other anon.

>>16223712
Nope. It just changes the problem.
The problem is lack of motion, and after trying the most expensive ergonomic chairs and other things like standing desks, the ONLY thing that helps my (serious) back pain is setting a timer and religiously taking some exercise every 20 mins.

>>16223712
>hey nice desk!
>thank you fren is new
>I’m going to check underneath since is so tall!
>she doesn’t hear me starts to go
>on accident her foot goes in my mouth a ways in all toes
>ha ha big accident so embarrass!
>oh is not big deal no harm done I be fine hope you foot ok let me help wipe off

>>16223712
I've had a standing desk for 5 years. I haven't raised it up in almost 5 years. I think I stood at it 3 or 4 times when I first got it. totally worth it.

I have one and its good for when you are falling asleep, working standing makes you awake. Other than that not really

>>16227064
this thread has inspired me to raise my desk up this morning. we'll see how it goes. so far, I hate it.

>>16227086
Are you fat and overweight? Hoping the standing desk would inspire you to change?
Or were you already prone to standing and pacing so the standing desk was to allow you to do what you already do naturally?

Standing desks aren't for everybody...

>>16227180
I'm not fat or overweight. desu, the issue I'm finding right now is that fully extended, by desk feels like the right height, but my monitors are too low by 4-5 inches. I'm not able to raise them up anymore though.

>>16223712
Some fine Pajeeta right there

>>16223712
Yes, specially if you are male. And my backache disappeared weeks after i started using it.

My feet hurt if I stand in place all day :(

That’s what you get from your stupid desk!

>>16226257
This. The whole office chair market is the one of the most jewish things I have ever seen.

>>16223712
Jesus. Fucking /biz/ and nobody knows what standing desks are for.

That's it. I'm done with this board.

For the misinformed:

Standing desks are a sale strategy. It's why clerks are not sitting. Being on the same level as customers generates more sales. This is fucking basic business.

>>16227046
Wtf anon

>>16223712
No way i'm browsing 4chan standing.

>>16223712
>Working with high heels

>>16227533
That's from standing or sitting?

>>16223875
This.
3 of my coworkers, including the managing director have standing desks, but the CEO does not. he sits at the end of the hallway watching everyone stand.

>>16227046
based

>>16224567

>>16223712
btw get a thicker mat if you intend to stand on it without shoes

go to stand desk wagie

>>16223733
in my last startup, we didn't have enough money to get everyone those fancy herman miller aeron chairs that are so abundant in SV....and if we got cheap chairs, then it made us look unfunded. So, we bought all the wagies standing desk (which were really prep tables from a restaurant close out) and told them "it was for their health". good times.

complete placebo

>>16223712
I cleaned and organized my home office, made it as minimalistic as possible, all steel counters. Now I feel like I can take over the world.

>>16228229
I'll give our CEO credit, she got one and actually uses it herself. I said fuck it though and went back to chair in a few weeks. I prefer to lean back and work like i'm driving a ferrari.

>>16230249
Based. I unironically put my feet up at my desk sometimes. Boss and I are cool. We laugh at the standing desk nerds.

Also
>Treadmill desks

The absolute state.

>>16223712
Got one 2.5 years ago, haven't sat down since..
Literally, I stand the entire day.

>>16223712
no, get some regular exercise instead

>>16223712
I give you the redpill on them. Had them at my investment banking internships, the VC firm I worked at half a year and at home.

I used them only briefly for standing at the beginning. Now the table is Always set at my comfy level of 78cm which is slightly higher than the normal 72cm that midgets use.

>>16228180
that's from standing without moving enough. get a regular desk and a bike or something.

lol no
Standing desks have been invented for poorfags that can't afford top tier ergonomic chair

>>16230506
>Embody
>top tier

What a shitheap of a chair.
Steelcase Leap and HM Aeron are the only true patrician choices.

>>16224548
yes she should be standing on my face all day
