I switched to standing-only at work about 10 years ago and it’s been great, except for a 2-year stretch where the cleaners in the building I worked in would somehow find a free desk chair and push it under my desk every. single. night. So every morning when I got to work there’d be an office chair sitting on my standing mat and I’d have to find somewhere to put it. I tried moving it far away, finding a chairless desk on the other side of the building, but somehow they kept finding me a chair I didn’t want and rolling it onto my mat. Eventually I got a little guest stool and would pull that over onto my mat when I left, and that worked as a decoy chair and kept them from adding a chair. Maybe this comic was about them.
Or just keeping the chair around. OP already said it: Guest chair. Actually you should have two for that purpose, it’s also not wrong to sit down to have your coffee.
Pick your battles. Fighting with cleaning staff about this kind of stuff is like fighting with your grandma about whether or not you’re still hungry. Yes, yes you are: Shut up, eat, and fast tomorrow.

It’s probably a dumb question but have you tried leaving them a note?
Sir this is Lemmy. We don’t interact with people for trivialities.

This was years ago. And I did try a note! It didn’t work.
Afaik standing for long periods is also bad for your health. Frequently switching is where it’s at
