Why would it be sarcasm? Requiring someone to stand at work, when nothing about what they do requires it, and they prefer to sit, is pretty ridiculous.

I probably know some horrible people, actually, that would use sarcasm. My apologies, and thank you for clearing it up.

I do agree, completely, it is torturous. I've done it many times, and only at a school was I ever allowed to sit without getting written up. Weirdly, the employees comfort was rarely an issue.

You raise a good point, there's no view so outrageous that you can't find someone who wants to make it seriously.
