I have been, am currently, and will probably always be... a work pooper.
At my previous job though, I wouldn't poop on my own floor. I always went down to the first floor to use the bathroom that didn't always get used.
Unfortunately that wouldn't work now, as I hear they've started monitoring security card use. So if you go downstairs to take a 5-minute-long poop, they know about it. Now, the micromanaging was starting to get pretty bad by the time I left, but that's just out of line.
And they wonder why only 3 or 4 people left the department in the 2.5 years I was there and FIFTEEN have left since I did 6 months ago. Micromanage your department, and you'll constantly be in "the interview process." From what I hear, it's almost not even worth it to train new people in my old department, because once they're properly trained (and even that's in question depending on who's is doing the training), they've had enough of the micromanaging and run screaming.
Morale is at an all-time low in that department, and nobody seems to care.
