The corporate poo patrol is coming after your precious toilet time

Everything about this is a bad idea.

This will put you in a position that actually makes it more difficult to poo.

$deity forbid you get food poisoning.

And it’s setting employers up for lawsuits from people with disabilities or injuries who don’t have the leg strength to hold that squat long enough for normal elimination.

Plus you might notice that this penalizes women worse than men.

Companies these days really just don’t want to accept that their employees are still humans with messy human biological needs and, you know emotions. Yeah, they want robots to replace us all, but that’s not an option yet. We’re still humans.

A fellow I knew had been a supervisor in printing plants. I heard from somebody who knew him that a printer had once caught him outside the restroom door, clearly timing the break. The printer said, "Next time, if you want to time it, you have to come in and watch."

I doubt he reformed his ways, but he might have become better at not getting caught.

HNers should remember that people punching time clocks have it worse.

Many companies monitor room usage via smart BMS/BAS. Usually they stop at the bathroom door. I have to wonder if they will breach that modicum and ID people entering and exiting to time them and not just for occupancy metrics.

if i'm getting my shit done at work, then im going to get my shit done at work.

> Squatty Potty are offering us revolutionary new ways to sit on the toilet.

revolutionary? new?

What if you sit backwards? I do that at home sometimes so I don't let my legs fall asleep by leaning my elbows on them to hold a book.

That does it, I'll bring my own toilet to work.

This is a hilariously bad idea. I agree with gshdg on this...
