My boss made me take paid time off for taking a sht
Yeah you read that right. I won’t get into too much detail but because of something I ate at work for lunch that day I had to use the toilet after and it was… well, not good news. I was on the toilet for longer than normal, around 30 minutes.
So anyways, I get back to my desk, and my boss had been looking for me for the last half hour. He asked where I was and I told him that I was in the toilet.
“For the last 30 minutes?” He says to me. Like… yeah buddy, I was taking a shit, who hasn’t taken one that long before? Does he really want me to go into graphic detail about it?
Anyways, he then scolds me for taking another 30 minutes off right after my half hour long lunch break. I tried to tell him that it was an emergency but he wasn’t having it.
Eventually he tells me that we’re not allowed to take that much time off in the middle of the day without requesting it first and tells me that he is going to have to take 30 minutes of my PTO for the time I spent in the bathroom.
Like… ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I WAS TAKING A GOD DAMN SHT AND YOU ARE GONNA USE MY PAID TIME OFF FOR THAT!? F this job man. I barely get any time off to begin with. I guess I’ll just send my boss a PTO request the next time I need to take a dump.
Netizens’ comments
- Request a few days off and for the reason just put “bowel movement”, since that’s apparently a valid reason now
- Time to start leaving at exactly endtime and arriving exactly on time. No more covering for others or anything extra.
- Any time a boss comes at me about bathroom I simply tell them “I have a choice about where it’s happening, not so much when or how long. You want me to use the bathroom, or my desk, or your desk?
