a pneumatic table is definitely one of my must-haves this year.. just so darn expensive
standing an kneeling are so much better for the torso, back and hips than sitting in a tradchair
if i could walk while sitting I would

Isn't that why office chairs have wheels?
I miss the electric standing desk at my old job. It also came with this skateboard thing to balance on that was pretty nice.
An indo board?
A balance board, it was just a curved board. Same idea but easier to use.
I swear my toddler is growing up to be Jim, she just plays standing all day. Hardly ever sits on the floor and the whole table-chair-concept is being ignored. Whenever she's eating it seems like she belongs next to a food truck.
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
I switched to standing-only at work about 10 years ago and it's been great, except for a 2-year stretch where the cleaners in the building I worked in would somehow find a free desk chair and push it under my desk every. single. night. So every morning when I got to work there'd be an office chair sitting on my standing mat and I'd have to find somewhere to put it. I tried moving it far away, finding a chairless desk on the other side of the building, but somehow they kept finding me a chair I didn't want and rolling it onto my mat. Eventually I got a little guest stool and would pull that over onto my mat when I left, and that worked as a decoy chair and kept them from adding a chair. Maybe this comic was about them.
Afaik standing for long periods is also bad for your health. Frequently switching is where it's at
It's probably a dumb question but have you tried leaving them a note?
Or just keeping the chair around. OP already said it: Guest chair. Actually you should have two for that purpose, it's also not wrong to sit down to have your coffee.
Pick your battles. Fighting with cleaning staff about this kind of stuff is like fighting with your grandma about whether or not you're still hungry. Yes, yes you are: Shut up, eat, and fast tomorrow.
This was years ago. And I did try a note! It didn't work.
Janitor. Honestly it's weird they're moving anything at all, but notify the boss and they'll notify the contract holder who will whip them into shape.
Businesses spend a gross amount on janitors and it's a cut-throat business. If they don't want the contract that bad, someone else very much does. Nothing to lose but your sanity. ;P
Worth keeping in mind if it happens in the future and notes don't work.
Sir this is Lemmy. We don't interact with people for trivialities.
