I'm sure they can't be there to 'save water', as they auto flush as soon as you stand up, knowing good and well you still gotta wipe your ass and flush again anyways...

Back when I was a student, the auto-flush sensors on the toilets at my university were so sensitive that I could trigger an accidental flush just by leaning forward about 10°. Just the subtle variations in my normal sitting posture could sometimes trigger as many as five flushes before I even started wiping. It was so bad I started carrying a pad of post-it notes in my pocket so I could cover the sensor before sitting down.

Didn’t always work. My previous employer had them on a timer. If they thought you were taking too long, it would start flushing, then again, then more frequently. So yeah, time to stand up for a couple minutes before resuming pooping.

Actually, yet another reason for using the handicapped stall. Sorry guys, but there’s room to standup and even turn around, there’s a hook to keep anything off the floor, and it doesn’t have the timer. At some point the regular stalls became unusable

I'll be honest, if my employer did that kind of shit to the toilet, I'd start using the trash can instead. I wouldn't even care if they fired me, I wouldn't want to work there anyways.

Now on that same note, if it's taking an employee over 10 minutes to drop a load, they're very possibly just goofing off on the phone or something, and that ain't cool.
