I know a lot of people who work from home, none of them do so from bed.
I did it on the sofa, was pretty much the same
My sister…
I read this article the other day and tried working from my bed but couldn’t do it for more than maybe 15 mins.
While slumping over a desk for 9 hours straight improves back health. Prevents 100% of cases of lumbago.
It’s not just that the old money dragons of commercial real estate are losing money, it’s also that middle management nothings need to exert their authority over you in person to feel relevant.
WFH makes every company money on decreased overhead. The war against it is 100% commercial property landlords that collect rent in the billions.
Fuck every single one of those fucking assholes. They are destroying our world to squeeze out just a little more.
I mean if our zoning wasn’t so overly strict, those real estate holders could cash in on enormous rent prices by transforming that commercial space into apartments.
Then there would be more housing supply, rents would go down, homelessness would improve, and those real estate holders would be able to get back to making profit, and there’d be less lying about the pros and cons of working from home.
All of it could be better, through the mechanism of consensual mutual profit that we call the free market. If only the government weren’t constantly enforcing largely arbitrary rules about how this block can house people but that block can only be for offices.
Keeping rendering plants away from preschools is fine. Arbitrarily telling people they can’t put beds and kitchens into a commercial space and let people live there is not.
There’s profit being lost AND people going homeless because there is a third party constantly preventing us from making the deals that mutually improve our lives.
And they’ve convinced you the real estate owners are the evil ones.
Propaganda is really getting dumber. The shit they make up looks like an accident of a bunch of clown cars.
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.
Better than office rotting
Working from home is awesome, working from bed is not. And people wonder why they have trouble falling asleep…
you know who didn’t die in a car crash on the way to work this morning? People who WFH
As I said elsewhere, there is zero in this article about RTO. It’s all about getting out of bed to work so you develop good sleep habits. Y’all are getting played by the submitter so easily.
Cool. You know what I got from sitting in a cheap office chair all day at work?
Hemorrhoids.
I’ll take “bed rot.”
Uhhhh I think you might want to look into your diet. Chairs don’t give hemorrhoids. A bad diet will tho.
Yeah, okay. The bleeding started when I started working there and stopped when I sat on a hemorrhoid pillow. Must have been my diet.
Sounds like you were doing it wrong.
You’re not supposed to thrust the chair into your asshole.
Your rules and my desires do not align
TIL
You’re wrong about chairs. You’re right about a bad diet, but sitting for 10+ hours a day will cause or exacerbate haemorrhoids. One of many sources available on the internet: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hemorrhoids/symptoms-causes/syc-20360268
I’m impressed at how much time you spend on lemmy, and how little you spend actually reading any of the articles you get outraged over.
There is absolutely zero in this article about RTO. It’s all about not working in your bed as that can develop poor sleep habits. It’s all about acting in a way so you get good sleep. Why anyone would get outraged over this or turn this into part of some grand conspiracy between the media and big business to get people back into the office is beyond me.
Clearly this is what the submitter is attempting to imply. Don’t be so easily played.
Cool. I didn’t want to read a page full of spammy bullshit, as OP suggested. Sorry that wasn’t okay with you.
You are too easily played. Think for yourself, instead of letting some lemmy poster manipulate you so easily into being outraged with blatantly misrepresentative titles to articles. If you don’t want to read “spammy bullshit” then just don’t read it, but then I suggest you also don’t get outraged over it because the OP is telling you to be outraged. It doesn’t matter if I’m okay with this, you shouldn’t be.
What makes you think I was outraged?
What this comes down to is that got played by the OP. It’s more important that you take away from this is that you should think for yourself, rather than try to nit-pick over whether you were actually outraged.
I am sure you have never been tricked in your life, but just because I do get tricked on occasion does not mean I am unable to think for myself. It means I’m not perfect and I’m not smart, two things I have never claimed or pretended to be. And if you think being imperfect and not smart means you are unable to think for yourself, you must not think very highly of your species’ ability to do so. Based on random internet encounters too.
Anyway, it was an unwarranted insult. I get that you’re better than me, you’ve made that clear, I won’t argue with you. Can we move on?
I am sure you have never been tricked in your life
No, I absolutely have. I’ve even been tricked by misleading headlines of articles. What I took away from this, after it happened, was that I should RTFA before responding. Still, sometimes, I don’t, but usually those responses will just be jokes.
on occasion does not mean I am unable to think for myself.
I hate to break it to you, but I spend too much time on lemmy too, and I see your posts all the time. Quite regularly your comments are in response to some false assumption about the article, that clearly came from the headline. It seems to happen far more than “on occasion.” Slow down. You don’t need to come to an opinion in a flash. Hell, you don’t even need to come to an opinion about it at all. If you don’t want to take the time to read the article, then that should also indicate to you that you shouldn’t rush to an opinion and then take the time to comment on that opinion.
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!
That’s bad for the laptop tho. Get one of those little bed tables.
It’s not a condition.
It’s a word someone made up to shame people into going against their best interests.
You think developing good sleep habits by only using your bed for sleep and intimacy is against your best interests?

Are you actually arguing that the article is not about good sleep habits? Did you even read it? Or did you just simply believe the spin by the submitter?
The funny thing is that the RTO part of the headline is editorialization added solely by the person submitting it. If anyone is falling for propaganda here, it’s you. You’re the one being played by spin meant to push an agenda.
Why is it that the people who believe there is some massive conspiracy, that they believe they see through, are the ones so easily led around like sheep?
In contrast to office rotting?
TIL “bed rotting” is a TikTok term for avoiding the world as a way to deal with burnout until you decide to come out of bed. Doesn’t sound bad on the face of it, but obviously being immobile for long periods isn’t great.
How that transitioned to essentially working from bed and the problems with immobility I don’t know.
Who’s calling it this?
I read this from bed, and I will become a literal cenobite before I return to my office desk
Bed sores are not a new thing.
