Of all of the health threats workers deal with in sedentary, computer-facing jobs–carpal tunnel, eye strain and backaches–there is one that gets far less attention: waist expansion.

In fact, according to a new study by CareerBuilder.com, 34 percent of IT workers said they have gained more than 10 pounds in their current jobs, while 17 percent say they’ve gained at least twice that.

Cell phone users can rejoice knowing that the government is stepping in to rein in the early-termination fee, one of the biggest blemishes of owning a mobile phone. The plans being developed would benefit consumers and carriers, who are regularly taken to court over termination fees.

Under the proposal, consumers could get out of a cell phone contract scot-free up to 30 days after signing the contract or ten days after receiving the first bill. After that, the fee to cancel a cell phone contract would be reduced every month, essentially prorating the termination fee. In response, the government would give larger cell phone carriers a “get-out-of-court-free-card,” as Chris Murray, senior counsel for Consumers Union, put it, on any pending lawsuits over high termination fees.
