I work at a major financial institution. In our old building we had one bathroom with 2 stalls per wing. Anytime you went in there to use it there was maybe a 25-30% chance a stall would be available. On top of that, they were CONSTANTLY closing it to be cleaned. It was very common to do the “bathroom shuffle” - walking around the entire building and never finding a stall, eventually just losing the “urge.”

My company was purchased by an even larger company. Now I work on a mega campus and there is 1 bathroom with 4 stalls for my entire floor. It again is ALWAYS being cleaned (more than half the time I go to use it)! More often than not I am having to go to one or several floors to get my business done.

It is starting to feel like a corporate strategy to keep us at our desks. Does anyone else experience this???
