The company in this article has limited bathroom time to six minutes a day and has decided to reward people with gift cards if they don't take any bathroom breaks at all during work time.
This sounds like something you would read on the Onion. How happy will they be when people start developing health issues because they're not going to the bathroom when they need to?
This seems to be a trend lately. Instead of addressing the employees that are the real problem, management implements a new rule for everyone. It's ridiculous. They need to grow a spine and deal with problems head on instead of doing stupid things like this.
I hope every employee gets a doctors note saying the employee must be allowed to go to the bathroom when they need to go to the bathroom, but you know that won't happen because people will want to get those gift cards.
So the bathroom thing is new to me but punishing the group instead of singling out the offenders is definitely not new to me.

Perhaps whoever instituted this policy owns stock in Depends???
That's exactly what I was thinking! Except I was thinking of the lady astronaut that went crazy and drove across country with her depends to confront her lover. Or something like that,

This seems to be a rule that works against females and older people. Guys can wait, women are told not to because doing so can result in bladder infections. If someone is in their late 60's, early 70's, I'm not sure they can wait either.
You can bet the people who came up with this brilliant plan aren't timing their bathroom breaks.
NOR do they know what it feels like to be well hydrated.

naaa.....just take a collective dump in front of his lawn.
Or collect all the used tampons, put them in a box, wrap it up and put a ribbon on it, then have it delivered with a note.
Because the employer is an ignorant sadist.
I agree. Sounds like a prison camp and the employer is a huge tool for making a rule like this. What's next? Water-boarding for using too many paper clips?
Totally not normal and not reflective of most employers thankfully, Even with it being an employers market today.
Ringo, I recall that odd story of the former astronaut who depended on Depends. Lisa Nowak. She was involved in a love triangle, attacked the other woman and then drove 900 miles wearing her Depends.
I haven't seen upper management screw up like this since Netflix raised their rates and Reed Hastings didn't think it was a big enough deal to talk to customers about.
When the EPA does crap like this they're admired by the left.
