Starting a CubeLife uprising

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Working fitLike a scene in Caddy Shack, heads are beginning to pop up above the Ergotron cube walls like gophers on the golf course. Employees are beginning to integrate our latest innovation, the WorkFit C-Mod workstation, into their cubes.

It has spurred some interesting discussions. Chuck in finance has been sitting for 30 years in his career. Marge in operations has been sitting since 1974. Do the math. I’ve been sitting 22 years. And you?

We’re calling it a “cubelife uprising” and rightly so. Whether it is 20 years or 20 months, being chained to the chair makes for some great lyrics in a blues song, but may not do much for our overall well being.

So what IS all the buzz about regarding height-adjustable computing?

Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ, in ‘gadget’ episode, gadget 131 – Sit, Stand, Work…with the Ergotron WorkFit!, will show you. He does an amazing job, and even addresses a few of his cons about the product. Take a look:

Workers unite? Maybe not. But what could it look like to build the perfect compensation package for your job? Let’s see. Four weeks vacation, stock options, and oh yeah, maybe a WorkFit? 

I’m just saying.

Thanks, Fr. Robert! Another informative review.
