Boss slammed for note demanding employees clock out to go to the loo

A boss has been criticised for his passive aggressive note demanding employees clock out on their bathroom breaks. The note, which was shared on Reddit, has spread online like wildfire.

The note said: "Always clock out when passing this door. Including: bathroom breaks, 10-minute shift breaks, lunch breaks, questions regarding personal requests.

"Questions regarding production should not require leaving the production area, please see floor manager on duty. Paid break times will be added to your paycheck in accordance with hours worked." Birmingham Live reports.

Filla replied: "Worked for an insurance call centre and we had to clock out for bathroom breaks - we had 6 minutes of "personal time" (unscheduled break time for bathroom use etc) and it was an issue if we consistently went over.

"The building was MASSIVE and you could easily be stuck with a cubicle that took 6 minutes just to walk to and from the bathroom alone."

"If you want to buy my body for 8 hours, you will pay for its needs, too," said a second. A third agreed, writing: "You just read my mind. And I agree if they fire me for just using that bathroom. Then f*** them I'll just ruin there reputation. By telling everyone not to work there anymore. There just on a power trip right now (sic)."

Another said: "I need water and food to get through a work day. That means I need to get rid of that water and food during the work day as well. Don't like it? Hire a robot."
