Why do they assume that was their money to lose? is any recompense to employees their “losses” as well? This fucking mentality. So businesses start out entitled to everything, and anything they don’t get to extract is a loss?
Gah, you beat me to it! I even framed my screenshot the same way.
I’m sitting on an uncomfortable toilet seat at work right now
So how much productivity will be lost as people try to find a comfortable toilet?
Another reason I’m glad to be retired.
Instant ADA lawsuit device. Upon installation, you have declared you are making your restrooms cause pain in normal use with a fully abled body. You can go right to filing the suit the moment you see this thing installed.
This is evil. Those responsible will be getting swirlies.
Same attitude in ISDS, where they get to sue for profits they “would have earned”.
Same attitude in the minds of developers, who see every piece of green space as one they just haven’t gotten around to building on yet.
Toilet designed to be uncomfortable to sit on, aimed at boosting employee productivity
I see what you’re aiming at.
As someone who has a back injury, there’s no way in hell I’m using that thing.
I’d rather shit right there on the floor.
Or rather, on the desk of whoever approved this thing.
I can’t remember where, but there was a novel in which the main character had a ‘visitor’s chair’ in his office - he had cut 1-1/2" off of the front legs. It encouraged people to ‘move along’.
Bad pun not intended…
I wonder what it will do to profits when employees use random office items to prop up the seat by 13 degrees.
Will my legs still fall asleep? Because that’s how I know it’s time to end my break.
Time to fabricate some 13 degree toilet seat wedges…
And if you can’t aim, at least it will help the pee run off the seat. People should be happy about that, right?
I have repeated nightmares about trying to find a toilet, preferably with a seat, some privacy and not too disgusting. Never have I had a dream where it tries to dump me off or cause me pain trying to stay on it. Clap Clap reality. You are now worse than my nightmares.
