Yeah, I caught that too. Some people need to have frank conversations with workers in other fields. Work from home wasn’t about being able to fold your laundry or take a nap during the work day. If you do so, you shouldn’t be making your employer pay for that time. I can empathize with people not being allowed to take bathroom breaks, but don’t take it too far. At the end of the day, you are in an agreement with your employer to produce something in exchange for money.

Or maybe they are hiding some information, and regular people wouldn’t be so sympathetic when they heard that these “water breaks” are over five minutes long three times an hour, on top of their regular break time.
