Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

We have 75 male employees here and 2 shitters

You could use Erlang calculations to work out the optimal number of toilets for a given volume of poops per hour if you have an average waiting time that you want to achieve. Even without doing the maths I agree that 2 toilets is not enough. We have something like 100-150 people on each floor here, so about 75 blokes, and a minimum of three male toilets and three urinals per floor.

We usually have about <15 male employees in office, two toilets total, and the dudes regularly use the ladies' because There Are More Men Here. They've asked that the gender signs be removed. From only the ladies'.

OSHA actually has rules for that. With 75 male employees there should be at least 3 sit down toilets (4 total toilets but you can replace some fraction with a urinal).

No, queue compression. Poo keeps backing up into your colon as you wait for a toilet to free up and it gets squeezed into diamonds, depositing extremely dense data into the toilet. Great for archival.

Ok but what if we could cram 2 dudes into each stall and then have a guy making GBS threads in the urinal, we'd have to run a garden hose and account for the 2 minutes it takes to rinse the poo poo down the urinal grate, I think we could increase the transfer rate immensely

On the ceiling of the stall, a small hatch opens, plays the windows welcome noise, then a huge turd starts to poke through before falling straight down into the toilet. Currently logged on user has ~5 seconds to save their work before vacating, lest there be a collision.

Keep the phone on you with vibrate as high as possible along with an annoying ringer on max. Might not work, but both sensations combined might.

How do you wake up for work, especially on >8 hours (or whatever you're used to)?

My computer plays "My Generation" progressively louder (seven total alarms set). I sleep through them (or half wake up and turn them off) about once every two or three months, but I don't want to disturb the neighbors. It's been less of a problem since I started working a 9:30-6:00 shift, but still makes me nervous.

A doctor I suggested it could be apnea, but my Fitbit seems to report a fairly regular sleep pattern, I'm just a heavy sleeper.

Get a home phone system that connects to your cell phone via Bluetooth. It will ring though no matter what your volume settings of the phone are and you could put a handset right next to your pillow.

Hahaha, I'm so glad I've started to update my resume and putting feelers out there. After being passed over for promotion, which now has me in the hilarious position of being the most skilled and experienced developer on my team but also the lowest ranked person, I had my monthly one-on-one meeting with my manager. He said that he and his boss wanted to give me a raise even if they didn't feel like they could promote me for whatever bullshit reasons, but the VP that has to approve all raises/promotions denied it.

gently caress it, I'm out of here as soon as I can find another gig.

I worked at a high profile non-profit where the President's office had its own bathroom. It was a conspicuous door right next to the desk that opened outward, into the office. The arrogant shitbird that became President partway through my time there liked to schedule meetings with people and have them sit and wait in the office so he could make a WWE style triumphant entrance from the bathroom, complete with odious wafting of poop-breeze.

There's power moves, then there's that. Sheesh.

When I was a teenager, I dated a girl whose dad had Money. His home office included a private bathroom which opened directly into office. I mention this because this is the only scenario, your private residence, in which your bathroom should be opening into your office.

I like to think I'm a pretty keep it together guy, but I don't even know how to react if I'm sitting alone in your office and you arrive from your bathroom. My brain can't process that many absurdities at once.

Was that the same guy who wanted a really long phone cord so he could take calls in the bathroom, too? I want to say there was some discussion about a cordless telephone, but that wouldn't work for him for some reason?
