Leadership and the managing committee has been monitoring time spent in the restrooms and soon will be providing reporting in workday. Managers will be alerted if breaks exceed time deemed acceptable by our exceptional leaders. Two or more breaks a day will result in disciplinary actions.
Happy employee appreciation!
Boss makes a million, I make a dime, that's why I go on company time.
Is the allowable time different if you need to make a #2 vs a #1? Do you have to report these details? If not how would they know? Are there cameras in the restrooms? What if you have a medical condition like irritable bowel syndrome or severe constipation? Do you need a medical exemption or note from your doctor or will you just be fired for spending too long in the stall emptying your bowels?
I highly doubt the legitimacy of the OP:
1) If there are two stalls or urinals you can collaborate.
2) Sometimes I have my most insightful and creative thoughts while taking a dump (I assume others feel the same).
3) We have wifi so it's not like you couldn't take your work with you if that policy were implemented but that would create unnecessary sanitary issues that wouldn't be in the bank's interest.
4) How would managers know when you leave your cube that you are going to the bathroom? Especially if you mumble about collaboration while you leave (which loops back to point no. 1).
This thread. Funny but not. Once I was under the worst micro manager and got pulled into a conference room to get reprimanded for my bathroom break going over (less than 5 min over). I replied that I was having stomach issues and looked them straight in the eye asking them of they would like me to elaborate. That was the end of that. Imagine that topic if they pressed and I took it to HR.
Let them. They'll have a wazoo of unlawful/human rights termination lawsuits if they're basing it on someone having to relieve themselves.
The bank hopes to announce a volunteer catheter program later this week. Each team will be given a shared bucket. All team catheter tubes will be drained into the shared bucket. At the end of each day, the last onsite team member will be responsible for emptying the bucket. Those not volunteering for this program will not receive a bonus or raise at the end of the year. Participation will be tracked on the management dashboard.
Heard they were adding door scanners to the bathrooms so they can see how many times you go in everyday.
Remove trash cans from desks for cost savings and monitor employee's every move and minute in office. That's McKinsey's finest folks! Genius! Now get to work and make them all richer because we cant make them smarter.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised. This company is he-l. They took away everything from us and I hope they lose all the good employees and reap the karma. Lowest of the low.
I take 2 large dump at the office. Save a lot of toilet paper .
I would guess i spent 1 hour a day in the bathroom if I am in office, take that slow dump
I for one only take mighty grumpy on company time. Very satisfying determining dollars pay per Couric.
@OP and just like trash cans and wipes were taken away to reduce costs, toilet paper will be rationed out to prisoners aka employees on good behavior. Family may be able to add funds to the commissary to assist with costs.
