Could standing for too long also result in blood clots? Gravity is going to keep more blood in your feet. Am I gonna have to start doing regular squats at work?

The people that I know who have to scrub into a long surgery in the OR typically wear compression socks as they may need to stand for 9+ hours straight.

If you want to do squats go for it, but compression socks are passive & much harder to forget doing.

If you are sitting down for lunch & meetings during your work day it's probably not as much of a big deal.
