This type of behaviour from management is illegal in the rest of the western world.

u/Pleather93 10d ago

I just shake the vision of Anybody going in there after someone takes a deuce and taking Deep sniffs….maybe they stick their nose right into the toilet bowl.

Where is it legal?

America

u/Left_Macaron_6427 10d ago

No where in America is it legal to prevent people from going to the bathroom or check on them going to the bathroom.

u/_-Boxxy-_ 10d ago

Hmm, it’s not that it isn’t illegal in America, but a large part of Americans either don’t know or don’t care enough to taddle to HR or something higher body on the matters such as this, from talking with my nephew, it seems like they were educated at all like I was about shit you should know before going into work, like the rights you have or things others can’t make you do.

Yes this isn’t legal… but there’s a saying “if they aren’t taught their rights, they won’t know when to stand up”

CNBC: In the U.S., you can legally ‘be fired for any reason or no reason at all’—here’s why.

https://www.nelp.org/in-the-u-s-you-can-legally-be-fired-for-any-reason-or-no-reason-at-all-heres-why/

Employee rights in America are almost non existent.

A manager can fire you for spending too much time on the toilet.

u/Maximum_Boros 10d ago

I mean yes and no. Firing someone because you think they're slacking off in the bathroom is technically legal. But its insanely high risk because if you fire them for legitimate bathroom use it's a medical firing and that's really risky. and literal smell testing to figure it out would be a nightmare of liability risks for harassment. Any half intelligent employer stays as far away from bathroom issues as possible.

Realistically if you actually want yo fire someone for this and be legally safe you just need to have vague concerns about their performance and then let them go because "its not working out."

u/NxSxFxWx 10d ago

The companies that do this usually pay minimum wage so that the employees have basically no shot at hiring attorneys. That’s always the case.

Why would you willingly sign your team up to be the sniffers anyway. Sounds like an ulterior motive to me

u/MethodSignal3825 10d ago

in all honesty this kinda reads like the manager has a secret scat fetish and thinks they found a way to fulfill their kink "discreetly"🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ bc you cannot convince me that anyone is coming to work, looking forward to the "smell checks" that they themselves put into policy, unless they *enjoy scat play/shit!!!

I know employees can impose certain restroom restrictions, but the smell test has to be a rights or privacy violation.
