Suffering is a virtue in the good ol' US of A.

Trying to get rid of them and increase turnover by making the job uncomfortable? Drive older ones off the payroll to cut costs?

I’m sure making people uncomfortable will do wonders for their ability to pay attention to their job.

Another stupid fucking thing from these stupid fucking people. I'm so over it. I've worked a job where I was on my feet all day. That shit sucked. Like can I get a chair for when it's slow? What?! If ya got time to lean you got time to clean. Fuck off.

Can't wait for the disability lawsuits

"This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and our commitment to hospitality by having these officers on their feet and alert," a TSA spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News.

Spoken by someone who has never flown commercial. TSA aren't there to welcome you but if we're going to pretend that the bored look of monotony is "hospitality" then id rather be welcomed by someone who is able to sit if they need or want to.

Not to mention there already was a TSA shortage earlier this year so you're making the job even less tolerable. Whole thing looks and smells like shit

Anyone who thinks standing makes you more alert than sitting has never held a job that requires more than 5 minutes of standing still at once...

Or even looked at someone who has to stand still as part of their job duties.

You may look alert, but a huge chunk of your brain is devoted to how much it sucks to have to be standing.

Like, I've been a part of government security theater and we had to stand. But we just had metal detector wands, the little room with the one way mirrors next to us had half a dozen dudes with AR15s and body armor, they got chairs because they were the ones that had to be ready.

My only job if anything happened was to fall down so I wouldn't be hit when the guys on the other side of the glass opened fire.

We were just the bait/distraction

TSA should be abolished.

fuck the Trans Sexual Assaulters

Management and old people think if you got time to lean you got time to clean. Some take it as a personal insult that you would dare take a load off while checking out customers at a register or looking something up at a computer.

Stools (at minimum) should be provided at all workstations.

Trump administration ruins yet another chairished tradition.

And when the travelers could be inconvenienced no further, the only thing left was to torture their own agents.

As someone with back problems, I've never understood the insistence on everyone standing. Check out people, this kind of stuff, fucking everywhere. This is also why cruelty is the point.

Anything that makes this less attractive as a job is a good thing. Fuck these thugs. What have they done for you? Abolish the Tsa and return this money to the taxpayers or use it for good.

Some political appointee or SES with a micropenis got upset that the TSA officer didn’t stand and salute while checking their ID

One week sitting is good for you, the next week it ain't, depending on feelz of the bosses.

Terrible idea for a jobs program to begin with. Security theatre, always has been. Just do away with the whole thing and go back to regular old metal detectors, it’s proven more effective and far more affordable ($40T debt and rising thanks to no tax only spend repugnantcon policy).

Lol make Orange Mussolini stand all day until his joints swell up to the size of basketballs, because he falls asleep when sitting

All the TSA agents except the one running the Xray screening are usually standing already

You'll need to give them something to stand on and they'll need way more breaks than if they were sitting. The only way I see this working is if the ID checkers and carry on bin people rotate around so no one is standing at a booth for hours at a time.

I feel... confusion.

"Ain't nobody ever caught a perp sittin' down."

Cool. Let them suffer.
