Right. but I'm wondering why OP can't stand or stretch by her desk. standing doesn't consist of wandering around the office.

OP here:) Y'all are pretty nice xD I should have been more specific...if I'm standing even an inch from my chair I receive comments about how I should not take the job lightly and someone could come in. What's even more ironic is that he actually recommends that I stretch in the back room, but like I said, I am given a talking to if I move much further than the printer...all in all I do enjoy my job:) I was very lucky to get it at all and I'm saving up for college. I doubt that I'll be able to fix my back issues at the university, but I'll do my best:) Kisses, Sophie ?

Maybe ask him if you can make your desk a standing desk

I fail to see how telling her the fact that sitting for long periods of time is bad for you=dumb chiropractor. I believe the boss is the problem, insult his intellect instead.

Read the FML again. The chiropractor and OP's boss are the same person.

#20 people today have really poor posture, especially when you're sitting, so, if you have a job that's predominantly sitting at a desk, it's not unlikely to have back issues. That's probably what the chiropractor means.

This is a legitimate situation, and they should not be required to sit if it causes physical harm. It's illegal for the employer to make such demands, unless the job absolutely demands it. This is clearly not the case. You obviously have not suffered chronic pain.

I think op needs to learn how to sit with perfect posture. Might help. Do some stretches ? **** idk.

#34, I don't think you understand how this works.

you've never been to a chiropractor, have you? HR is probably also her chiropractor...
