Started a new job earlier this year. And the lights in the bathroom are motion sensitive - if there is no detected movement for 5 minutes, the lights turn off. Waaaaay too short of a time period for #2.

And this isnt my companys doing - it is the building managers that have the bathrooms setup this way on every floor (the bathrooms are in the hallway, not within my companys leased area). Guessing it is just a way to save money on electricity, but give it at least 10 minutes

You can save time if you just shit your pants and then go to the bathroom to scoop the result into the toilet.

The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

I like the conservation of energy in theory but yeah, wow, lol. In a corporate environment, it just feels more like anti-worker hostilities from management goober-brains.

See a doctor.

I worked with a guy who was notorious for hour long "shitfests". He got called in to HR, where he was asked what the hell was going on in there.

Long story short, he was shocked that everyone didn't spend 45-60 minutes on the can and went and got checked out. Turns out he had some kind of blockage.

these kinda topics here always make me wonder, are people actually spending 5 minutes trying to poop or just using their phones?

When I worked at Target in the backroom I'd have to do that in the aisles a lot of times.
There was even one time I spent so much time backstocking in one aisle that all the backroom lights went out. Good times

My last workplace had this.

The worst part was, the sensor was outside the stall.

So you either had to do finish it off in the dark, or risk it to get the lights back on....

This should unironcally be a serious crime to sell or to install at a workplace

Like considered an outright torture device and entitle every employee to massive reperations and result in years in prison. Like this is genuinely evil.

Dead serious.

That 13 degree incline one would violate the Americans with Disability Act if it was installed in the larger stall.

This, and probably a violation of all kinds of laws. Seems designed just to inflict pain.
