For those of you that have tried to use a standing desk, are they worth it? For the longest time I thought standing would be very uncomfortable while working, but lately my back has started to hurt at times due to sitting in the same position all day. I wonder if switching to standing periodically would help my back.

Yeah I have the vari desk but I think most standing desks will work. I take the approach of standing for 30 minutes at a time multiple times a day. Just make sure you’re not standing all day as well because that can be bad too. Ultimately it’s good to switch it up a bit.

KPMG 1, standing all day can cause inflammation issues along with knee and lower back issues as well. If I had to choose I’d definitely prefer to stand vs sitting all day but we aren’t supposed to do either to the extreme.

I have a Flexispot electric standing desk. They’re $250 on Amazon & they usually have sales around holidays. I think it’s worth it and use it often. Even if I stand just 15 minutes every hour, I feel better than sitting all day. I had a manual standing desk before that and those I don’t recommend. I ended up not using it often bc it’s a whole process to lift it up

Also…. When I bought mine… I had originally bought a Vari for like $550. Then I saw the Amazon one and was mad that I could have saved money lol. So I ordered the Amazon one, received both, and compared them. They’re basically the same & I returned the Vari. Only difference is Vari seemed heavier / more durable. But I’ve had the Amazon for over a year and no issues.

I got one and I rarely use it, most people I know who have them are the same way… It is a nice option when my back is really hurting, but I thought I would use it way more than i do.

Definitely get it. I use it a lot. It’s a great way to get you up if you’re staring at a screen all day. I switch periodically throughout the day. I found one on Amazon that was cheap and pretty nice. So I recommend looking on there.

I bought an uplift. It’s nice and I use it but I probably don’t use it enough to justify $1G

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.
