[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What other option exists besides minding your own business? I mean, I’m being completely serious. She knows she’s doing it. You are likely the only one who cares. Are you going to report her?[/quote]

It's highly unlikely that OP is the only one who cares. Lots of people she meets with would find this extremely unprofessional and distracting. If I were mentoring this person, I would tell her she ought to stop.

OP, what does the boss think?[/quote]

OP here.  I haven't brought it up to the boss, because I know it's really petty of me.  Yes, yes.  I know it's petty, but I still think she looks unprofessional.  I think my boss has bigger fish to fry with this person's behavior, so how she sits in meetings is probably pretty low on her list of priorities.

So I get it.  I'll MMOB about it.  Can I still silently judge?[/quote]

Of course! I'm silently judging her along with you.

For those of you who say you do this because your feet don't touch the ground, keep in mind that this seems to be happening mostly at regular staff meetings. Hopefully in your own offices you can ask for, and receive, appropriately-sized chairs for your height. That doesn't seem to be the issue with OP's free-spirited colleague. [/quote]

The appropriate sized chair for me makes me look like a toddler at a regular sized conference room table. I need the regular chair to bring my upper body to an appropriate level. What I really need is a lower table, but that would cause taller people's knees to appear above the table, which would probably send OP over the edge.
