I've been working remote for 11 years, where are my claws? I feel like I'm missing out.

Isn't this the exact same thing that was being touted as "what office workers will look like in the future" before covid?

There was no option for zero, so I wrote it as a note explaining that even meetings on off days at our location aren't allowed to be conducted remotely in my dept. My boss was not happy.

It's what all my teachers told us we would look like in the future from playing too much Intendo Giant clawlike thumbs from pressing controller buttons etc e: also remember carpal tunnel syndrome, consuming 35 minutes per hour of news in 1988-92

I'm pretty sure people use their time outside of working hours to do other physical actions with alternative ranges of motion! Like, 90%

I remember my uncle was a coder in the early 00s and had to get surgery for carpal tunnel and couldn’t use his hands for like a month. Freaked me out.

Carpal tunnel is definitely a thing. I spend at least two days a week assisting on carpal tunnel surgeries all day long

Most likely no, that guys sitting back in a comfy chair probably at home. An owner operator is Joe Bob who owns a truck and usually takes freelance work for people like CH Robinson and Uber Freight. Uber freight is absolute garbage and I hate working with them.

You're not supposed to point out WFH isn't the reason for whatever bad metric is being used to justify the return to office policy. Those 'state of the company' surveys are also usually the pet project of someone in upper management justifying their current vision. Maligners pointing out bad questions can show your department isn't really onboard and draws attention/more work for your boss.

They're actually bad for ergonomics, but every office I've been in I've seen some people with them and wrist rests that seem tailor positioned to ensure they type with their wrists at 90 degree angles.

Now that's what's got me confused. I had thought that the main reason why carpal tunnel syndrome was such a huge deal in the early days of the computer-ubiquity era was that people were elevating their wrists, because they were used to typewriters where that's how you were supposed to hold your hands, but on a flat computer keyboard it would put your hands in a more unnatural position, leading to carpal tunnel friction/injury and all those ergonomic keyboard designs. But gradually over time people became used to holding their wrists straight, which doesn't irritate the carpal tunnels as much?

heres a good primer. https://ergonomictrends.com/proper-ergonomic-typing-posture-at-computer/ also some people use cushioning incorrectly under the wrists rather than the heel of the palm which can exacerbate the issue

At work, I have whatever chair was cheap enough to purchase by the hundreds and a non-adjustable cubicle desk. W4H has been a net benefit for my posture.

'Hold your wrists straight' is probably a better phrasing, since they're saying 'elevate your wrists, so they're not arched upwards' but you could also have bad posture by arching down if you elevate them too far above the keyboard.

I feel vindicated in being unable to use a keyboard with the feet on.

Truckers can be a good source of idiots though whether they work for a business or are an owner operator. I've heard more than one screed about COVID being caused by the not-illuminati. We even had a guy once call the cops on someone for the crime of being at work while black.

I don't think it's the same fella playing it but those machines are amazing. I think they might just give you that moustache when you learn how to play them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqyi8EPuXUQ It's the opposite of IOSM but I feel like the thread has a general paucity of joy.

My warehouse ships chemicals and that particular order required the drivers license to be checked for some reason. I don't remember if it was because we needed to see if he was hazmat and/or tanker endorsed. So Quinn asked him if he could see his ID and the guy flipped his poo poo. He called the cops about how this guy was threatening his family and going to go to his house and get violent and/or steal things. The cops showed up and just kind of stood around awkwardly because none of that happened and the guy was just unhinged. He came back a few weeks later and did the same thing again. He ended up blacklisted by that freight broker after the second time. They were willing to try again after the first time
