You have to plank while speaking, in order to motivate people to speak succinctly. Obviously disadvantages people who aren’t physically fit as they literally don’t get to contribute as much!
What does "plank" mean in this situation? Dict doesn't seem to help.

Good core exercise, probably inappropriate for meetings.

It is generally difficult to hold that position in proper form for long periods of time (or at least your muscles start to ache)
Very thoughtful author. I would like to get her thoughts on where a employeer should draw the line on staying that a disability cannot be accommodated. For example, someone who had a light sensitivity as well as PTSD may need to work in a dark quiet environment. How far does the company go to support that need?
We had someone with migraines needing similar accommodations. She was given her own office.
Edit I would find another job in this situation. Not being in an open office is a serious improvement in work environment.

In one case, I have seen similar issue dealt by home office most of days. It worked remarkably well.
Edit I would do so quietly without making a fuss about it. You would probably not even realise that was the reason for me leaving. Basically if I see the rules of my workplace as unfair and arbitrary I will leave.
I really liked this article. A lot of the things mentioned seem to be necessary because the author has “passing privilege”, but some are necessary due to poor management practices. Stand ups and in person meetings are two spots where this frequently happens. I’ve inherited teams where everyone needs to stand during standup, or worse, where they do the push-up/plank thing if you want to speak. It shouldn’t take a grea…
> they do the push-up/plank thing if you want to speak I don't know what that specific practice is, and I think I really really don't want to know.
If you want to make a culture fit, you have to break a few eggs.

Why can't everyone get their own office? Edit I would find another job in this situation. Not being in an open office is a serious improvement in work environment.

Vital for any meeting, but so often forgotten. So many meetings with nebulous goals and zero takeaways.

If I worked there and did not receive similar home office treatment I would leave... Edit I would do so quietly without making a fuss about it. You would probably not even realise that was the reason for me leaving. Basically if I see the rules of my workplace as unfair and arbitrary I will leave.
But besides, "person who cant work in our office due to sickness or disability gets to have more home-office time and position suitable for that" is not arbitrary rule at all.
Whether it is unfair can be debatable, but I would not see accomodation for someone sick as unfair to healthy me. I would also see it as good sight that if I get sick or need adjustment to some own situation, I get accommodation too.
