Spent $300 on a standing desk converter and honestly it was a total waste

Tbh I bought this standing desk converter from FlexiSpot last summer cause everyone in this sub was raving about how it saved their back and made them more productive. I work a data entry gig at a call center in Phoenix and sitting 9 hours a day was killing my hips. Ngl though after three weeks I stopped using it entirely cause my neck hurt worse from looking down at the screen. The thing sits on your existing desk so the keyboard tray is at a weird angle unless you have a monitor arm, which I didn't. Plus my boss made a comment about how it looked unprofessional during zoom calls. Has anyone else here regretted throwing cash at ergonomic gear that just created new problems?

My coworker Deb got that same FlexiSpot thing and hated it for the same reason, her neck was killing her after two weeks. She ended up giving it to her neighbor who actually loved it cause he already had monitor arms and a tall desk. Guess it really depends on your setup more than people admit.

Yeah totally, it's all about your desk setup for real!
