So my office 'upgraded' to 'ergonomic' chairs. These must've been designed by someone who hates backs. It's like sitting on a rock formation, except rocks have the courtesy not to pretend to be chairs. It has a lumbar support that punches your back and a headrest that might as well be a medieval torture device. I've seen more ergonomic design in a cactus.

The least 'ergonomic' chair in existence

Can sympathize with your situation. True ergonomics is about supporting the natural curvature of the spine, not attacking it. I'd recommend you to try some chairs from proven brands like Herman Miller or Steelcase before accepting defeat. They might cost an arm and a leg but at least they won't break your back!

You gotta any pics of these 'ergonomic' chairs? Sounds like your company cheaped out and bought the first thing that had 'ergo' in the title. A classic move of cutting costs while pretending to care about employee well-being. 🙄

I feel for you. Nothing worse than sitting through an 8-hour shift in agony. Have you tried bringing your own cushion or back support? Sometimes it's the only way to survive till they realize their mistake.

Hey now, don't insult cacti by comparing them to whatever monstrosity you're sitting on. At least cacti look good and only hurt you if you touch them, which is more than I can say for your chair. 😆

hahahaha i totally get it, my 'ergo' mouse was more like a torture device for my hand. Who designs these things anyway, chiropractors tryna drum up business?

As someone studying product design, this post is painfully funny because it's so wrong on so many levels. Ergonomic design is about enhancing comfort and efficiency, and this seems to achieve the exact opposite. It's a perfect example for my thesis on poor design. Mind if I use your description?
Lol your chair description sounds like my ex's personality, hard as rocks and painful to be with. These 'ergonomic' charlatans need to be stopped.
