I know a lot of people who work from home, none of them do so from bed.

    When I initially became disabled, I tried to keep working desperately. I spent a couple of months working from bed before I had to give up.

    Just an anecdote. Most people don't actually work from bed.

    I once worked from my bed while I had a mild cold. Had a meeting with many international colleagues from all over Europe. I fell asleep. Luckily I had my camera and mic off. And it was about interfacing with SAP which I needed no help with.

    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.

    Sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day is also bad for you so what’s the point. This bullshit propaganda is really starting to get old. Working from home is better for a lot of people. Corporation need to get over it.

    I'm betting it's better for more people as well. Eat healthier, take more breaks, move around more as well.

    This has been 100% true for me. I started working from home at the beginning of the pandemic and haven’t gone back. I lost 45 pounds in the first year and have managed to keep it off since. It’s all because I can eat better by making my own meals at home.

    This article isn't about wfh vs office. It's about not working in bed so you don't disrupt your sleep.

    It's amazing how many people who see "propaganda" everywhere can't see blatant spin when all of the evidence is right in front of them.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    That is straight up not what bed rotting is. Bed rotting is when you're so depressed you can't bring yourself to get out of bed at all. Like, it's a mental health condition, not lazyness.

    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.

    Luckily i built a home office and gym with all the money I saved not paying for 2 hours of commuting, parking and getting lunch 260 days/year. I've never been in better shape mentally or physically!

    It's not a condition.

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

    I feel like getting bed sores and having muscles atrophy is more of the worry than anything else and it's weird these aren't even concerns brought up.

    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.

    Corpo propaganda resulting in a condition called “Brain Rotting”

    Maybe the new WFH people during pandemic.

    I suspect that the many who always were remote have better habits established to make WFH healthy.

    I remember back in the fifties how all the conservatives were so happy that all the women were barefoot at home cause they couldn’t have a job, but also simultaneously so upset about all the bed rotting they did. Then the damn liberals invented jobs for women and ruined everything. Now the uppity women are upset about “not having control over their own bodies” and “being forced to give birth to a corpse when the fetus dies” and “dying because of an ectopic pregnancy, something that hasn’t happened in the US since the Industrial Revolution”.

    /s (in case that wasn’t obvious)
