Hello, everyone,
if your job involves a lot of sitting at your desk in the office, can it be called "a sitting work"? Or is there a different way to put it correctly?

I would probably say, "I work sitting most of the day" or sitting could be implied by saying, "I work at my desk/work station most of the day".

 
We can also say that someone has a desk job.
 
I have a desk job.
I have a very sedentary job.
My job involves a lot of sitting down.


My job explains the size of my a*s! ;-)
 
You could also use the expression "chained to my desk", but I wouldn't say that in front of your boss ;)
 
Oh, so many ways to say it! Thank you!
