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.

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

    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?👏🙂"

    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.
