Antiwork

I just had my first ergonomic assessment today at my new job

He was trying to make sense of my posture and I explained my previous job (small business) gave us barstools to sit on and we had to “perch” to even stay on and my bosses regularly threatened to make it a “standing desk” which just means they were taking away our stools and making no changes to the desk itself. If I stood at that desk and had to use the mouse my hand was cranked at a 90° angle. When I approached my boss about my existing and now exacerbated wrist problems she replied “oh I have wrist problems too” in a very “suck it up” way. Anyways your girl is getting a curved keyboard.
