Bathroom Sign Says Employees Must Have ‘Smell Check’ To Prevent Them From Using Their Phones In Toilet

Some companies don’t take welfare seriously.

They treat their employees like machines, overworking them to earn a profit. Even we here at Goody Feed are being treated like writing slaves, forced to churn out article after article until we d-

Boss: Until you what?

Oh, nothing boss, until we… uh, die of happiness, of course. We love our job!

Boss: That’s good. Wait, are you having a cup of tea?

Yes, I’m just taking a quick break.

Boss: A cup of hot tea would take at least five minutes to finish. Do you think I’m paying you to drink tea for five minutes?

Oh no no, boss. Let me just throw this tea out the window along with my soul.

Boss: Good employee. 

Yes, my boss isn’t the best. But at least he doesn’t monitor how long I take to poop.

Bathroom Sign Says Employees Must Have ‘Smell Check’ To Prevent Them From Using Their Phones In Toilet

A workplace bathroom sign that says employees must adhere to a strict time limit or else face a “smell check” has angered underpaid and overworked workers all over the world.

According to FoxNews, the strange sign was posted on the bathroom door of an unidentified place of business. It was an attempt to deter workers from taking long breaks.

Here is the sign:

The sign, which was posted on Reddit, says “If in bathroom for more than 10 minutes, a smell check will be completed to ensure employee not sitting on phone”.

It continues: “If it does not stink, employee’s name will be reported to office.”

I have so many questions waiting to pour out of my mouth.

Firstly, what the hell do they mean by “sitting on phone”? Presumably, it means sitting on the toilet while using your phone. Or maybe there’s a specific problem in their workplace where people are spending hours of their workday literally sitting on their phones in the toilet.

Secondly, where will the smell check be conducted? In the toilet or near the offending employee’s ass? This very important question remains unanswered.

Redditor response

As you can imagine, netizens were not amused and came up with ways they could get back at the company.

Others wondered who would be tasked with the “smell check”.

One also pointed out some loopholes in the sign.

I’m certainly glad that my boss allows me to use the bathroom for as long as I want. You know, after seeing this ridiculous sign, I’ve realized that my life here in the Goody Feed office is not that bad. I should really be more grat-

Boss: Are you introspecting again?

Oh, no boss.

Boss: Good, I wouldn’t want my employees to waste time thinking. 

Of course not.
