Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

Updated:   Published

As in, there are two employee restrooms, and the boss has requested that if you're going to poop, you should use the restroom in the "dirty utility area" because of odor. And if you DO poop in the non-poop bathroom, you'll be "talked to."

Asking for a friend.

I looked up breakroom law just for the ***** and giggles, in california laws says an employee has to be able to use the nearest bathroom. Poop is protected!

I work at a school and I kid you not, the vice principal was a "thing" about burping. She has told staff in the lunch room if they burp she wants you to do 20 push ups!:nono:

lvnforschool, has this ever happened?

Next they'll tell we can't pee at work if we ate asparagus prior to or on shift.

I can't see how that would be legal. Someone can just walk in on you can't they? Its not like you have some sense of privacy when a coworker can just enter the code and open the door.

As the only male on my unit, I often "take the charts back to PCU" around 3am.

I think they're on to me.

On graves, we all had to eliminate about 0500. No matter how long we'd been on Nights, came 0500 it was BM time.

Perfect!!!! File Mr. Doodie right next to your no pooping in the poop-house rule Boss-Lady / Man. By the way, since we are in a hospital and there are these sick folks all over the place that need our help don't we have more pressing issues than poop geography?
