You have coding skills, how're you on stooping?

Where is the job location, in a cave?

And it doesn't add up to 100%, so I assume that sometimes you'll be stooping while you're climbing.

I noticed that too and wondered.

Now that makes sense. :thumbsup::thumbsup: That sounds a lot like "scrambling" which I've often had to do in the past. Odd that they don't list scrambling or skulking in the list. :laugh: There's been lots of skulking in the past. :laugh:

This is starting to sound more like this company conducts periodic end of days drills.

Here's a list of Physical Requirements listed in a coding job ad: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kAY7c.png[^] You may be required to stoop up to 10% of the time. I'm also very interested in what I will be doing since I will be required to climb 10% of the time. :rolleyes: Maybe the desks are really high? :~

I see here in the time tracker that you are low on your weekly stooping. You're going to need to work harder on that because it is going to reflect poorly on your yearly review.

When I worked at a paper mill, some of the servers were very low on the rack and some server (VAX/VMS) were sitting on the floor in the computer room. So, yes, there was some 'stooping' to physically reach the nodes. One night while on call, a VMS node crashed; I had to call the person who generally maintained them for verbal assistance (he had bypass-surgery and couldn't climb stairs, so was physically unable to help). He directed me in powering down the 'spare' node, physically swapping the hard drives and restarting the 'spare' node as the desired node. All of that work was done while sitting on the computer room floor. So... yes, those can be valid requirements for employment.

Government job? Basically the job description is saying you have to bend down and kiss someones :-O in order to climb the corporate ladder. That would cover the stooping and climbing aspect. Most places just don't spell it out like that.

Hey, I got bonus points. In reality, HR and many times management, does not know what a position consists of so they don't ever change the job description. The original position, which could be 30 years old, might had to deal with punch cards, backup tapes, or even print jobs that required some physical activity.

Perhaps it is a mistake. Maybe they really wanted to put stooping to mental requirements, as in "lower one's moral standards so far as to do something reprehensible"?

For the record, up to 10% of your time Stooping could be a lot... I keep imagining walking into a shared office, and the Big Biker Guy says "Boy, you've got a pretty face" and suddenly I realize that Stooping is slang... and that the company health plan covering STDs is NO LONGER a POSITIVE... as the door locks behind me... that 10% number seems like 4hrs a week of getting stooped... I'll PASS... No stooping! None!

So table spices are now artists? I must be behind the times.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

This would make sense in my industry, and in fact might actually be less rigorous than required. Our products are commercial ink-jet printing systems, which include large presses. Operators wrangle rolls of paper that weigh several hundred pounds. The press itself has large, heavy components at or above head height. My group writes the software that controls the whole mess. Every so often we get to crawl around the thing trying to figure out why something's not right. In other words, the ability to stoop/kneel/reach/stretch/lift/push/pull might be an appropriate part of the job description for a software developer.

Don't you just hate it when thousands of dollars worth of mission-critical equipment are on the floor, and then you go to open the CD drive and an ant colony falls out? Happened to me for the second time in five years last night. Up late with a lot of air cans.

It was in the paper mill, up a set of stairs, behind the paper machine; the felt on the machine is washed down with kerosene, so a lot of residual kerosene in the air (ants didn't like it). As I understand it (I've been gone from there since late 2011), a new computer room was finally built in the admin building, so that is no longer an issue. But, yes, the lack of planning on locations is sometimes... disturbing.
