Workplace Toilets Wow, with a thread title like that, I know how to bring the Orgers flocking!  
I wouldn't normally raise this sort of topic but am I the only person whose bosses keep a timer on how long they go to the toilet for? 
I must add - they're not watching me personally; the entire office is subject to the same sort of scrutiny. I don't have 'toilet issues' or anything. 
Basically, if we take what's otherwise called a 'comfort break'  it'll show up on my stats as to how long I was in the can. I've actually overheard Managers asking other colleagues "Why were you in the toliet for ... mins?".
Charming. Am I the only person on Prince.Org that can't go for a piss without wondering whether a Manager is waiting outside with a stopwatch? | |

Haha, never happened to me. But if someone is in there for half an hour or something people tend to notice, because you know they've just gone in there to talk on the phone or read a magazine. | |

I know!
You see - when I read about all these workplaces that take drugs tests and whatnot, I think I'm quite lucky. Lucky, yeah, if you don't need to go for a pee between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Oh, wait a minute - Mr Bumble is behind me wielding something. | |

well, if you're discouraged from using the restroom for eight hour stretches at your job, that could always lead to a quite bountiful lawsuit settlement in the future. | |

Wait a minute, so they time how long youre in the toilet but they dont notice how long you spend on Prince websites?!
Uh huh!!! I have heard of that before though, but not me personally  | |

Um, well I should point out they're not that strict. We can go to the bathroom. Just, being the type of company I work for, they're quite 'observant' about these things.
I guess they don't like people taking the piss. Arf! [Edited 1/24/06 8:57am] | |

Uh huh!!! I have heard of that before though, but not me personally I'm wily that way. Plus, they know I'd snap their hands off if they told me turn off Prince Org. (Just kidding).
But they are rather - um, for want of a better phrase - 'anal' about these things. Why why why did I start this thread?  | |

Depends where you work mate. Most call centers where you log in and out of the switch with a reason will be able to log this info....sorry i am responsible for implementing stuff like that for some of my customers.
If i ever work at your though i will switch yours off so you can go take a relaxed dump. [Edited 1/24/06 8:38am] | |

Back when I was in the military, some anal retentive Chief used to mark on a board the time we left to use the "head" as they called it, and the time it took us to get back. Then at the end of each month he would talley the times and let you know if you were going past your head alloted minutes.

There should NEVER be a limit on head time!  | |

There should NEVER be a limit on head time! If they offered that facility, I'd never come out of the can. | |
