Feel like I am potentially on the verge of developing tendonitis / carpal tunnel. I try to keep my (standing) desk ergonomically aligned but the reality is that I spend 8-14 hrs a day typing (and, probably, tense) and I’m concerned about rendering myself physically unable to do this job. Anyone dealt with this?

Have you seen a doctor? Asked your firm to do an at-home ergonomics consult? Taken a short course of high dose antiinflammatories?

Pick up carpel tunnel wrist guards. They really help

Do you already have an ergonomic keyboard? Maybe it’s psychosomatic but I feel like it helps a lot. You can get one for under $100 and your firm may pay.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
