Anyone notice an increased soreness in the lower back after starting to use a standing desk? I didn’t have much of a problem with my regular desk.

Might be your posture while standing. Make sure to tighten your core/improve your strength there to avoid lower back problems

Probably posture or bad shoes.

Edit: or weak core if none of the above.

Do hip bridges for lower back strength

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA.

We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

Does anyone have recommendations for a small punching bag i can set up next to my work desk so I can put the picture of my co-worker's face and beat the s**t out of it?

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest
