Antiwork

Why are factory jobs so obsessed with wanting their employees to stand?

I’ve been working in a manufacturing facility for a year now and I get to stand for 12 hours a day! The job I’m doing does not require me to move around, I just stand in one place the whole shift and use my hands to work only. What is the big deal with having us stand. My feet ache all day. When does the pain stop? My supervisor said “you get use to it”. Well it’s been a year and I’m still hurting.
