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

[klone]

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.

Yes in rare circumstances the Olympic Committee of Poop-dom will consider direct entry for one outstanding performance especially if trained professionals were needed to mitigate the damage.

In Russia, apartments, and I think houses, have bathrooms where the toilet has its own room. So, a bathroom would have only a sink and shower, and then the toilet would just be in a storage-like space with a little TP thing. In America, *** is a bathroom without a toilet? And what is a toilet not to be used for ********? Does your facility use the non-poop bathroom for bathing infants in the potty water? There are fast food restaurants who have an automatic spray thing. What's the big deal? Do you have C. Diff? Is that why?

What is considered a non-poop bathroom? I can see it as something for new patients to come in and look at like a tour of the facility? You know how when you rent an apartment and they have one empty where the floor has lines from being vacuumed and it's the room meant to be shown for potential tenants? Or maybe the non-poop bathroom is like a C. Diff room?

My hus....friend wanted me to share with you all that the day after the no-poop proclamation came out, he did in fact poop in the non-poop bathroom.

There are several bathrooms at the rehab facility I work at that literally have signs hung that say "This is a NO BM restroom". I think the signs were made/hung by employees that work there, makes me giggle everytime I see them. Half tempted to go in there with a hat and leave a BM sitting in it for everyone to enjoy. Pardon my sick sense of humor.

Oh just another thought, we can get pee'd on, pooped on, vomited on, bled on, beat on, coughed on, but we can't unload at the nearby restroom because the odor may be too offensive to others virgin noses, srlsy? This is what we do people, suck it up buttercups hahah.

Is this the same workplace holding an inquest over gummie bears in the doctors' stockings?

The Gummi Conspiracy is not confined to one location. They are little, cute, sweet and gooey. It is a disguise. Like the Clown in Stephen King's "it" their innocent appearance masks evil. They lay around in their seductive sweetness begging to be swiped and inviting staff discontent. When eaten their gooeyness masses in the intestine as all the gummies get together and creates giant and malodorous feces causing plumbing stoppages and yet more staff discontent. I'm not sure about this but I believe that JFK was on to their shenanigans and was ready to ban the importation of the little German monsters. That's right!!! It was a Gummi on the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza that fateful day in Dallas. Save yourself!!! Don't mess with the Gummies

I do recall seeing somewhere that the sugar free gummy bears have quite the laxative effect.

This came up at our work - where an employee posted a "No Pooping here" sign in a small bathroom off the nurses station. Understand that our NS is quite small and was never intended to be a Nurses station it's a converted patient room. It's not really a big deal as it's a short walk to the staff lounge but someone went on-line a looked up Cal-OSHA and found that an employer can't tell you that you can't use a bathroom to relieve yourself of whatever, urine, vomit, poop. We are also expecting JACHO so the signs came down and somebody brought a bottle of poopourie .Honestly that stuff is amazing!

Hppy

WOW who would of thought that a thread about pooping at work would get 120 responses.

Klone, you're putting a damper on my fantasy of moving to Oregon!
