From their winter vacation homes, the owners of the company I work at thought it a good idea to cut our lunch breaks from 1 hour to 30 minutes to increase operational efficiency.
I asked the HR manager how operational efficiency would be affected under this new lunch break policy after I sh*t all over the office floor.
This is not an idle threat; I have struggled for the last five years with an aggressive form of IBD/IBS-D (still being investigated/treated). Eating anything is almost always followed by violent diarrhea within 15-30 minutes. I have been managing this by not eating or taking my lunch breaks at home (I live nearby work), and I am starting new medications.
However, with only 30 minutes, I would have to take my lunch break at work in my cubicle since we have no break room and live with all the consequences that entail.
What if I can't make it to the bathroom in time and sh*it on the floor? Are they prepared for this scenario? Do they want to clean all that sh*it up in an office of 80 people?
What's that, you say? You aren't prepared to deal with me sh*tting all over your office? Then don't f**k with my lunch break!
The new policy was retracted.
