I work faster and more effectively sitting than standing. I drink a lot of water so bathroom breaks are stretch breaks. A good chair is important.
The standing advocates never seem to have credible, peer-reviewed scientific footnotes.
I've had jobs with lots of standing and it's a misery. If you sign up for the hype, get really good shoes.
I mean, that's just not true. There are tons of peer reviewed studies that show stand-sit desks and mixing up your posture by switching between standing and sitting has beneficial effects.

u/Chris_Talks_Football,
Today you win the Internet. This personal award does not come with points or icons, just my respect. You provided a footnote.
Not everything on PubMed is peer reviewed. It's still more than anyone else has done. I'll go through the first couple of pages and might do another search on Google Scholar.
My personal experience (single data point, not published, not peer-reviewed) is that sitting down I can type as fast as I can think. Standing I drop down to somewhere between 50 and 60 wpm. For me, that's a productivity hit, especially since I may lose track of a point I want to make in my work product.
