Shit.
my company fired a long time client recently because one of our guys on their site used his stop work authority in a potential multiple fatality situation, and was sent home by the client, along with the crew that was loving up.

our boss came in to a meeting the next week hopping mad and was like, "we are finding work for him, don't ever hesitate to use your stop work because we will protect you."

I like my company, im a terrible leftist

This is a pro click. I saw the first part, but seeing a billionaire get scared and subsequently dunked on was delicious.

watching the yahoo dude get whiny about being asked to pay his loving taxes set me off on this thing I've been thinking about recently, about how stupid and feckless the wealthy are today. Like Andrew Carnegie was a monster, but he knew what he was. He had to do a balancing act between philanthropic largesse and just straight up murdering strikers, and had this whole carrot/stick thing going on, because they knew if they hosed up the peasants would come to the castle gate. They don't have that anymore. Wealth has so ossified these people that they no longer even regard the poor as animals, and they're just mad about being asked to make the tiniest concession to keep their head out from under the blade.

Truth.

I try and make two ten minute trips minimum.

It was great yesterday I was pooping and there were clients visiting the office and one went into the bathroom right after I finished my business. It was a good moment

More places are punishing you for using the bathroom one work time. At my call center you are docked attendance points if you use the bathroom and when I complained I was told that's what breaks were for.

So now if I have to drop a deuce I just gently caress with the wires to my phone to make it look like there was a tech issue and I slip out to drop a deuce while everything "resets."

The stupid school rules thread had teens figure this out already.

If the rulemakers won't let you go to the bathroom, just start leaving poo poo around the office (literally), until they allow people to use the bathroom.

I modified the door access code on an old network closet so that I am the only one with access. I have a pillow and a blanket in there, and I try to sneak off for a 15-20 minute nap around 10 and again at 2.

It makes my whole day immediately and immeasurably better.

Don't worry, I'll give you a sign. The sign will be that life is awesome
I have lived and worked in The Netherlands for the past 3 years.

No one here would ever suggest that you couldn't take a poo poo at work. You are fully expected to take all your vacation days off and you can even take 2 weeks (or even 3) off in a row without anyone so much as batting an eye. Under normal circumstances you are not expected to look at your email after hours or on the weekend. I've even gotten flack from my Dutch colleagues for scheduling meetings with our counterparts in the US that fall outside of our working hours here.

Americans used to have all this I'm sure and we let it all go in times of economic duress and corporate never gives anything back. I'm not sure how I am going to adjust when I have to come back to the States and work.

I live in the UK, and all the above applies as well. Though it's not every company, it's certainly most of the ones I've been with.

Not being allowed to poo poo at work encourages people to work harder so they can either retire earlier and poo poo well for the rest of their lives, or move up the corporate ladder and be free of the shackles of restricted making GBS threads. Under Communism everyone will be able to poo poo when they want, which would make them lazy since there would be no incentive to work harder.

the rich want everyone to have guns because a school shooting every week isn't a problem for the rich, but if all that anger was channelled into a real cause the people would have revolted a decade ago.
