Source- but beware, the site is cancer.
A site that is covered in ads is reporting that people who don't sell their soul in a prescribed location is suffering from rot. I'm not sure what rot would look like but that site seems less healthy than the condition they are purporting.
It's funny how propaganda/commercials just straight up lie to you & that it just works unbelievably well.
I never understood why people take everything that is written in a newspaper at face value.
And then also defend that as if their life deepened on it. Wtf.
There's no way that's a thing. Who the shit works from home and stays in bed. I work from home so I can go fishing.
I like having a separate desk at home I only use for work. It puts me in a different mindset and helps me separate work from life. I often have to work outside of the usual business hours, so I really need that separation.
Jokes on them I'm so depressed I don't even try to work in bed I just lay there doing nothing
Sorry to hear you're depressed 😔
This has got to be a satirical article, right?... right???
I couldn't do that if I tried. It's not comfortable and it's harder to work in bed.
"let it rot"
It's what a lot of young chinese people say, instead of working hard, chill out and "let it rot".

I have breakfast while I work in bed. It's so much better. Then I switch between my chair and my bed throughout the day. Office chairs fuck up my back and I'm constantly tired at my age (since covid)
If you spend most of your day working from home in bed, you may be a "bed rotter."

SAN ANTONIO — Ever since the coronavirus pandemic, working from home has become normalized. But working from home can also lead to a very bad habit called bed rotting. This new trend encourages people to stay in bed for passive activities, but that can spill over into work.
"I'm not one to, like, get up and get ready every single day. But I need my screens. I need my monitors. I need my set up," said Caroline Wharry, who works in marketing from home a few days a week.
Wharry said working from home is a new type of lifestyle, but bed rotting sounds somewhat lazy and uncomfortable.
"I take my meetings, and when I'm on meetings, I try to have my camera on. So, I do not understand how they're doing all of that from their bed," Wharry said.
Elise Vader, a physician's assistant and sleep specialist with University Hospital, said people could also develop insomnia.
"For general health. We know that being active and moving is important for the body, for your mood, for your muscle health, for your heart health," Vader said.
A Sleep Doctor survey found about six out of 10 remote and hybrid workers say they bed rot during work hours. Four out of every 10 men say they are more likely to bed rot compared to just two out of every 10 women. And four out of every 10 bed rotters say they were influenced to do it because they heard about it from others.
"The No. 1 thing is when it comes to what we call sleep hygiene, which is like the best way to get the most healthy sleep, you know, keeping your room cool, dark and quiet, staying away from screens. This kind of goes against that," said Marten Carlson, a sleep science coach.
About 40% of bed rotters say they spend one to two hours working from their bed, and about half of those bed rotters say they spend at least half of their day in bed.
"When we think about sleep, especially when you're doing activities in bed, you're training your brain that the bed is for being awake and active," said Dr. Kristi Pruiksma, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UT Health San Antonio.
She advised that the bed should be used for sleep and intimacy only.

Well that’s not how math works
And notice the way they say the workers are the ones saying they "bed rot". A term invented I think in this very article, so now I am wondering what they asked in reality. Like was it "I like lying in my bed" ----> "I am rotting regularly in my bed"
Do you make bacon in your George foreman on the floor by your bed?
If the chair is messing up your back, it sounds like you need a better chair. There are a lot of bad office chairs out there that will mess you up over time, but they're widely used because they're cheap.
Yeah I only got some cheap chair, but honestly the problem is less with the chair, more with how I sit.
I think this is just advocating for not working from home in your bed. I didn't see a single line saying how we should be back in the office.
New "Netflix and chill" just dropped.
