Rage bait, I suppose.

bitwolf ,

Maybe the new WFH people during pandemic.

I suspect that the many who always were remote have better habits established to make WFH healthy.

I remember back in the fifties how all the conservatives were so happy that all the women were barefoot at home cause they couldn’t have a job, but also simultaneously so upset about all the bed rotting they did. Then the damn liberals invented jobs for women and ruined everything. Now the uppity women are upset about “not having control over their own bodies” and “being forced to give birth to a corpse when the fetus dies” and “dying because of an ectopic pregnancy, something that hasn’t happened in the US since the Industrial Revolution”.

/s (in case that wasn’t obvious)

I hear working from home makes your dick small, pass it on.

Veraxus ,

Right now my favorite thing is sitting in the backyard using my Vision Pro as a giant, glare-free outdoor monitor.

Guess that means I'm "Nature Rotting"?

I can't even tell what online rag this shitpost came from.

But I imagine its getting reposted a thousand times in those annoying headline gore ads that fill up every website not sufficiently ad-blocked.

I sit in my Secret Labs gaming chair when working from home. When I work at the office, I sit in their Secret Labs Titan gaming chairs, which don't have a back or neck pillow so are slightly less comfortable and slightly too big.

dlok ,

Yeah my home setup is much nicer than anything in the office, I'm hybrid.

It helped when the pandemic started I already had a pretty good pc gaming setup to adapt into WFH gear.

Bed sores are not a new thing.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

yeah I was about to point out that corpos certainly did not just invent the word "bedrot" for their own benefit. This has been a thing for a while. Nurses often have to walk patients who are admitted for several days to prevent "bed rot" symptoms.

If you were staying in bed all day, every day, yeah you're gonna get some severe health issues pretty damn quick. But if you're getting up and moving around regularly, you shouldn't worry.... but in that case, it would make more sense to idk buy a desk, sit at a table, or on the couch. A laptop in bed is not practical and certainly not comfortable with the heat it generates. Quite frankly I don't understand why anyone would ever choose to use a laptop in bed if they have other options available.

Ephera ,

Because comfy.

I don't even disagree with your points. I do notice that my back muscles will quickly undevelop, if I work from bed all day.

But on Monday, I had a stressful day in the office, so I had no qualms spending yesterday working mostly from my bed.
Similarly, someone who does more sports than me could easily counteract the effects.

Luckily i built a home office and gym with all the money I saved not paying for 2 hours of commuting, parking and getting lunch 260 days/year. I've never been in better shape mentally or physically!

Carrot ,

I don't have the space for a home gym, but I do use my money and time I save from my commute to pay for and use a gym subscription. Also easily the best shape physically and mentally I have ever been

A redundant concept.

Corpo propaganda resulting in a condition called “Brain Rotting”

I WFH at a standing desk and I walk and play with my dog on lunch.

Starkstruck ,

That is straight up not what bed rotting is. Bed rotting is when you're so depressed you can't bring yourself to get out of bed at all. Like, it's a mental health condition, not lazyness.

Welp, great it is time to crosspost to a boring dystopia. Again.......

Conyak ,

Sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day is also bad for you so what’s the point. This bullshit propaganda is really starting to get old. Working from home is better for a lot of people. Corporation need to get over it.

SupraMario ,

I'm betting it's better for more people as well. Eat healthier, take more breaks, move around more as well.

Conyak ,

This has been 100% true for me. I started working from home at the beginning of the pandemic and haven’t gone back. I lost 45 pounds in the first year and have managed to keep it off since. It’s all because I can eat better by making my own meals at home.

Also less stressful environment.

EatATaco ,

This article isn't about wfh vs office. It's about not working in bed so you don't disrupt your sleep.

It's amazing how many people who see "propaganda" everywhere can't see blatant spin when all of the evidence is right in front of them.
