I felt them welling up from my lower back, the relief when I read the title in the newspaper: “Boss must provide a good office chair.” The boss. Not me, because if I have to pay for it myself, I will buy one for 45 euros from WEBA. I read the article with enthusiasm: “The federal government is working on a law that equates the risk of back injuries at work with exposure to carcinogens. As a result, employers will have to worry about your back and neck from now on.” Although I read later: “That does not mean that every employee will immediately receive a new office chair”, but that does not spoil my fun. Because in the newspaper it is like in football: when in doubt, it is still the referee who decides, not the VAR. Likewise, when in doubt, the title counts, not what follows later in the text. “Boss must provide a good office chair”? He’s got it, the villain!
