Boss makes a dollar I make a dime, my tampon WILL get changed on company time.
I got my period for the first time in a long time (depo shot) and have been using tampons to stop the flood (as one does to stay sanitary) well apparently my agm who we will call Devin, was timing my bathroom break. I find out after using the bathroom to change my tampin and sneak a fun sized snickers from Halloween, in total took less than 3 minutes well when I get out my coworker comes up next to me and tells me that Devin said I take too many bathroom breaks and was timing them. Not sure about the ethics on this but I’m kinda irked by it and I’m thinking about talking to my GM about it who is a female and would not like it if she knew Devin was timing bathroom breaks.
JobAdvisor:
This situation is definitely concerning and inappropriate. Here's what you can do:
- Document everything: Write down the date and time of the incident, as well as any other details you can remember. This will be helpful if you decide to take further action.
- Talk to your GM: As you mentioned, your GM is a woman and may be more understanding of your situation. Explain to her what happened, and how it made you feel. Be calm and collected, and focus on the facts.
- Consider filing a complaint: If your GM is not receptive to your concerns, you may want to file a formal complaint with HR or another relevant authority.
It's important to remember that you have the right to a safe and respectful workplace. Your employer should not be monitoring your bathroom breaks, especially for such a personal reason.
