    I worked once in a company where they noted down how many times each employee went to the toilet in a day. if you had the runs they would write you up. needless to say, I lasted just about 3 weeks before I quit.

    This here sounds very similarly stupid.

        It was easy. The bathrooms were near the entrance, where the receptionist could see us and tick their boxes…

          I remember reading about a case a few years ago where a warehouse couldn’t figure out which of its workers was just periodically taking shits in random corners of the warehouse. I think I’m starting to understand a different angle to that story, though.

          Prime opportunity to leave some toilet paper on the receptionist’s desk after each visit.

          Just imagine the scenario, you arrive at work and you see your boss at your desk with a smirk on his face. “Hello Carole, starting today I want you to keep tabs on those bathrooms got it?👏🙂”

          With wireless microphones, maybe you can keep talking on the toilet. The company could even provide you with a laptop or tablet to take with you. D:
