Anyone else get lightheaded when standing too long? I seem to after standing for 5 or more hours. I probably should be eating more, and wearing better shoes - but I'm also wondering if I'm just sensitive to the lighting these giant box stores use...

Anyone else get this?

When this happens to me I make sure to bring at least my 16oz of water. You might be dehydrated or you didn’t get enough food that day. Or you didn’t get enough rest the night before.

That is very likely!

I would also recommend, on top of the water bottle, making sure you’re not standing with your knees locked if you stand for long periods of time to make sure you’re getting full blood flow

That is a really good tip, thank you!

I had this issue since we barely get any breaks and now I put electrolyte powder in my water bottle and drink as much as I can. It helps a lot!

Great idea, I'm doing that starting today!

I only had this happen when I was pregnant. It definitely sounds like you may need to eat more or drink more water/electrolytes though. It's kind of scary to experience that feeling often so I hope you're taking a proactive approach to your health!

Thank you so much!!

I've worked with people who have had complaints like that. I suspect it was something to do with their diet, or perhaps they were getting dehydrated out on the floor. Switch up what you're eating and see if that makes a difference.

Definitely see a doctor, to rule out any health issues otherwise sleep regularly and consistently, start your day with protien and water. Do Not Skip Breakfast, even if it's a protein bar and bottle of water, eat first thing in the morning. Eat protein for every meal. Better shoes can help but honestly stretching regularly and actively correcting your posture will do more for you in the long run.

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
