What the fuck? Who has enough money/time in this world to keep tabs on toilet passage?

Jim Beam, Amazon, Tyson Foods…the list of companies that monitor employee bathroom breaks is not short

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

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?👏🙂"

But he, it's 2026 now. We have AI toilets. The more often you have the runs, the more tokens you can use there. Go get your daily dose of castor oil and become a high-ranker.

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

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.

Sounds like call centers.

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:
