Today, after adjusting me, my chiropractor said I should stop sitting for long periods of time, because it's likely the reason for my chronic back pain. My job is as his front-desk receptionist. He yells at me if I'm not at my seat. FML
hfslkp47012759 tells us more.
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 you should have a conversation with him about it...

Get a "doctors" note from him, just so you can flash it in his face when he questions why you're standing at work. I'm sure you both will appreciate the redundancy.

where i work, alot of the office staff have stand up desks. basically a small desk that sits where your computer was and has a fold out tray for your key board. Maybe you could talk to him about one of them.

Make him pay for a new adjustable desk, allows you to stand or sit.

One of my old teachers from high school had sort of the same thing, so he'd take a quick break by giving us an in class lab or assignment, and then start doing squats! Funniest thing ever

Suggest he write a note you can show your boss, him, when he gets on your case.

Request a stand-up desk. A few staff in my office have one as a personal preference to sitting for hours on-end.
