I thought that it would be photos and timestamps for when people entered and exited the washroom, which would already be controversial
Notably, when the worker would not open the bathroom door for long, the other staffer would stand on the ladder and use the phone to click the pictures.
That sounds illegal
The article isn't 100% clear, but i suspect this was in China where there are different laws. I have no idea what those laws might be.
Yeah it appears China. This would be a fast way to find out what coworkers have a concealed carry license in the US....
This took place in China, but that doesn’t imply legality at all. Just as all of the articles reporting labor law violations in the US is a reflection of the company breaking the law, rather than the law itself.
China has an interesting legal situation since they are a mix of communist and capitalist. Depending on the relationship of the company with the government they can get away with a lot of things that would be illegal for others.
The same is true in the US. Just ask Elon Musk, or any oil executive.
What is it that you think “capitalist” means?
Participating in markets does not make a country capitalist. It’s depends how the means of production & profits are controlled and distributed.
A strawman invented by Marx to tear down. It is slightly related to what people do in the real world, but it is simplified in ways to make the real world seem evil.
LoL. You’re the one who accused China of being capitalist. Now you’re claiming it’s not even a real economic system?
boss makes a dollar/i make a dime/that's why i poop on company time
creepshots are one answer to that, i guess. other companies use toilets that are uncomfortable to sit on.
They use the same tricks as they use for homeless people and pigeons...spikes that come out of the bowl.
But that's apparently the problem: there are people NEEDING to poop (some perhaps desperately?), but they can't get in bc the stalls are full of people smoking or playing games.
One solution could be to normalize taking a real honest break somewhere else that doesn't use up a toilet facility.
The title is extremely misleading here: it's not company vs. workers, it rather reads like workers who took photos of other workers?
Notably, when the worker would not open the bathroom door for long, the other staffer would stand on the ladder and use the phone to click the pictures.
A Chinese company is facing backlash after it sent staff members to photograph other employees using the toilet and later posting the compromising images on the wall of the restroom.
the first sentence already confirms this werent some pissed off vigilante workers, they were indeed send by the company. so yes, its company vs. workers
Fair, but also I am not sure how clear cut the situation is: workers do have a legit need to actually use the toilets for their intended purposes. It's natural to assume that the company is merely being a dick here, but it also makes a certain kind of sense to me that it at least could have been trying to ensure that workers have toilets available to poop in (even more so for women). I lack the context here to accurately judge, I just see an article that like all the other articles is trying to make me angry. Okay.
You don't need to get mad about it. There's plenty in the world to get upset about.
I'm just not interested in coming up with an excuse for a company ordering people to take pictures of people on the toilet. Their problem is probably real, if it's about toilet access and not work efficiency. The solution they came up with is inexcusable, though.
I am now so torn between my distrust of corporations and my distrust of the media - perhaps really I should not trust either!? :-P
They should have competitions to see who can wreck the toilet the most in the same amount of time. Use the boss's stopwatch as the impartial timer.
got a snap a pic of the massive turd you gave birth to and post it near you picture. you know that way its more like a fisher man with his catch proudly displayed.
