Have we ever thought about how exhausting this must be?" he wrote.
Sonu also suggested that workplaces should make high stools or suitable seating available to employees and allow them to rest whenever their duties permit."I strongly believe providing mandatory high stools or proper seating arrangements, allowing them to rest whenever work permits, should become a basic workplace standard," he added.

Let's not forget the comfort of those who serve us. A little rest is not a privilege.
