The treating workers like **** thread

You see what I’ve done here (tee hee) is actually a very amusing pun on this story about a new toilet designed to stop workers taking an extended poo break.

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-...angle-worker-time-bathroom-time-a9251261.html

But, should people wish it could become a thread for both good and bad working conditions. We have robots now after all. Surely life should be getting easier and poo breaks longer?

 

Robots don't need poo breaks, ......or holidays,....... or pensions..... No need for workers at all very soon. Then they can poo as much as they like at home in their own ****hole.

 

What shall we do with people when there is ‘no need’ for them?

 

Good question.

 

I guess the robots do everything and we all dedicate ourselves to the arts and self enrichment? Until the robots wipe us out of course.

 

Just sit on it backwards, problem solved.

 

It's a question that's spectacularly ignored by those in charge. There will very obviously be less and less need for human work as we progress through the century. As AI improves and is implemented, that will mean both blue and white collar jobs.

When our laziness, indolence and refusal to knuckle down to hard work can no longer be used as an excuse for keeping us poor in our ragged arse precarious state, what then?

Crucially, who will be the owners of these working robots? All of us or a few Richie Riches?

 

So is it really necessary to invent an uncomfortable toilet? Can't managers just manage performance and encourage staff?

 

Robots will be owned by the Right Wing Media barons.

 

Do we really need another thread on how our normal working folk feel they have been betrayed by the Labour Party?

 

A whole new decade arrives. How about you make a resolution to find a sense of humour rather than behave like some grating, weird uncle at a wedding?

 

Well I laughed

 

Yes, that’s what I mean. That you are the kind of bloke who laughs at his own jokes couldn’t be clearer.

I’m assuming that as the workers new found best friend you are against this sort of toilet measure?

 

Says you, who started this thread laughing at his own joke, and even had to explain it to us.

 

Yes, well done, it’s exactly the same.

Anything whatsoever to say on the topic?

 

-Simply sit on the toilets for a minute more each day
-Build up leg muscles and burn off more calories
-Have the excuse that you can't be bunking off because they have the new anti-skive toilets.

Seems like a huge all round win to me.

 

That 4 billion a year number is laughable.

The notion that someone is magically going to do more work because they leave the toilet slightly earlier makes no sense at all. They’ll just bunk off elsewhere instead, if they’re true skivers.

Waste of money.

 

Simple solution is to go to the loo armed with 2 ring binders and then wedge one under each thigh to negate the gradient. Make sure staff and management are aware what you're using the ring binders for, before dropping them back in filling and exercising a quick shuffle so it's not clear which binders had just been supporting your butt-cheeks.

 

Low tech solution for bosses.

 

Andrew Yang’s UBI hasn’t been discussed here yet has it?

 

We’ve covered UBI a few times, including side discussion of Yang. Not huge discussions though.

 

If they’re rich, indulge them. If they’re poor, vaporise them.
Obvious really.

 

I predict cactus surfaced loo-seats by 2030.

 

I should have asked, which arts and what self-enrichment would you take up Jumbo?

 

Learn more languages would be one. I’m not much of an artist but I write well so I’d probably pen my memoirs for the enrichment of my fellow citizens.
