It's not a condition.

It's a word someone made up to shame people into going against their best interests.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You think developing good sleep habits by only using your bed for sleep and intimacy is against your best interests?

[–] [email protected] 76 points 1 year ago (6 children)

People work from home in their bed? I've been doing this for a decade and a half now. I don't think I've worked from my bed once. Now I have a dedicated office but when I didn't I, you know, made a small surface my desk area and brought in a chair.

Regardless, it's propaganda of a sort. For sure.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Working from bed rn.

It's great.

I was WFH for about a decade too. I didn't work from my bed, but I sure as hell took meetings that I didn't really need to be in, or was more of a passive participant in, from bed. Always close to my computer (on the same floor) so I could get back if I needed something, but those were the best useless meetings.

But I don't get how this is propaganda. It's not suggesting that people RTO, it's saying they should not work in bed because it will hurt their sleep. The whole "RTO" part of this was spin put on it by the submitter. So, I guess, on second thought, maybe you are right.

But I don’t get how this is propaganda. It’s not suggesting that people RTO, it’s saying they should not work in bed because it will hurt their sleep. The whole “RTO” part of this was spin put on it by the submitter. So, I guess, on second thought, maybe you are right.

Why I think it probably is a form of propaganda, is purely because the headline says Working from home is causing it. If they didn't want to front-load a negative view of WFH the headline would be "Working from bed unhealthy" or similar.

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.

Consult your boss if you experience bet rot, and get your prescription for Cubicle™ today!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Cool. You know what I got from sitting in a cheap office chair all day at work?

Hemorrhoids.

I'll take "bed rot."

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool. I didn't want to read a page full of spammy bullshit, as OP suggested. Sorry that wasn't okay with you.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What makes you think I was outraged?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

Uhhhh I think you might want to look into your diet. Chairs don’t give hemorrhoids. A bad diet will tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, okay. The bleeding started when I started working there and stopped when I sat on a hemorrhoid pillow. Must have been my diet.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sounds like you were doing it wrong.

You’re not supposed to thrust the chair into your asshole.

Working from home is awesome, working from bed is not. And people wonder why they have trouble falling asleep...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you know who didn't die in a car crash on the way to work this morning? People who WFH

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It’s the deep vein thrombosis that gets ya

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

I read this from bed, and I will become a literal cenobite before I return to my office desk

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

sadly there's also bootlickers who're willing to take the sides of people who want to abuse them

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Even the advertising on pandora is pushing RTO

I'd like to know who funded this "study"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Literally nobody. They just wrote any old shit on a piece of toiled paper.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 year ago

Better than office rotting

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And dragon rot

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

working from bed right now. in my lane. flourishing.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Unfortunately the building codes for office and residential buildings are very different and it's damn near impossible to convert many offices into residences.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s okay, I’ll take a whole floor with no showers or kitchen for a cheap price.

It’s not hard, it’s just not profitable meaning they have to take a lost, you know, like everyone else who makes a bad investment.
