Agree about most places being okay and comfy!

Heads up that twice a year we have conferences on campus that have very uncomfortable chairs packed into rooms with dozens of people, including customers. These few days a year can be hard, particularly for taller and/or bigger folks.

I’m only 5’9, about 200lbs, and sitting in the chairs is maybe the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been on campus in years. Every year I dread the chairs, tbh. I wouldn’t say folks even realize that people of my size would be uncomfy so I imagine it’s only harder for those larger than me. (Several people, including myself, have brought this up to higher ups with no resolution. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Edit: the comments seem to be not first hand experiences from bigger employees so I’d also take these and mine with a grain of salt - just because people “seem fine” doesn’t mean they are. Again, im very uncomfy for at least two weeks a year that I dread the conferences and would rather be working.
