Daily Coronavirus Check-in: Do you still want to WFH if this is how it looks in 25 years’ time?

Sitting at the kitchen table on a dining chair WFH has done shocking things to my neck and shoulders, I believe my massage therapists words on the weekend were, ‘your neck is not good…’ And it turns out ‘tech neck’ is just one of the problems we have to look forward to if we continue to work from home long term. A team of researchers created a fictional character called Susan, who represents what the average desk worker could look like in 25 years if we don’t change the way we’re working from home. Hunched shoulders, weight gain, hair loss and eye strain could all be common issues with our bed-to-desk commute, general lack of movement and decrease in exposure to sunlight. That’s a pretty picture right?! But some people are calling BS on this research, claiming they have found that they’re looking after themselves better while working from home. So I reached out to a bunch of working parents to see how they feel about the Susan of the future!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
