I think he just wants to save on chairs

[CS TAN]

In my company, there are also work benches that do not have chairs - its the lab. But it is solely for safety reason.

[adamadam]

Ok, so only the lab.
I imagined it would be strange when you go CSC and they consult you while you sit down, they stand up HAHA HOHO EHEH

[shahrulesa]

good pension plan. SInce you'd probably end up with DVT after few years and can sue the company

[Royaux]

hohoho no more chairman, standman

[DeSwitch]

This is an effective manufacturing process and once the employee is custom to it, their job will be eassier.

i was working in a Japaneses manufacturing before. the concept behind standing while working is to avoid sleepiness while working.

its effective but tiring at the end of the day.

[adamadam]

understandable if this is manufacturing,
I was imagining like... instead of office people sitting at desks all day, they stand

[phoakm]

I used to work in an aerospace company before. There are no chairs for the operators. The only time to rest on benches is during breaks. It is the company policy everyone should stay alert during working. Still remember sleeping during lunch at the drainage.

Well.... Japanese Companies are known for such 'Interesting' ideas.... like exercise before starting work.... or Working till you DIE at your desk....

[Stratix]

[adamadam]

At work, because we are usually at the computer, the ergonomist encourages us to stand up often.

if it's really true, Canon products will be discontinued soon. not because any authorities or human rights group clamps them down, but because no one dares to work there anymore ... haha
