placement of still in future perfect continuous
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Does it matter where we put still:
"I will still have been working at the shop." or
"I will have still been working at the shop."
Thanks! The example isn't the best but the grammar in question reflects what my textbook displays. But I cannot find information about the use of still.

Yes, it does: you cannot place still between at and the, while if you put it between the and shop then it would mean something else. All other positions are legal for such a focusing adverb.
