But, if you have to pee, you have to pee. I would use the toilet, but I subscribe to the "If it's yellow, it's mellow" mentality at home and would have no problem doing it at work if the water was off like that and I had to stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1117012 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:08:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1117012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Circusbee: I would mention something to them! </p> <p>We actually asked if we could come in for at least an hour to grab our computers so we could work from home (a lot of tight deadlines coming up) and they said no because it was a big hazard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1117011 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:08:40 +0000 Smurfette 1117011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1117001 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:05:40 +0000 Circusbee 1117001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, interesting about the sprinkler system, I didn't think of that! I can't easily work from home, especially not with what I need to accomplish today. I'm hoping my boss at least will dismiss our team early. Crap, now I have to pee... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1116980 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:59:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1116980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No not legal at all!</p> <p>Also, our building had to have water shut off and they had to send us home because the fire sprinkler system wouldn't work without water and the building would have been a fire hazard!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1116972 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:57:55 +0000 Sunshine1810 1116972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they need to send you home if there is no water. We had the water go off at work once, and my supervisor said if it wasn't back in a couple hours we could leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1116968 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:56:16 +0000 jill_a55 1116968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be out of there! Can you work from home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1116963 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:54:47 +0000 Circusbee 1116963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No porta potties as far as I know... Not sure I would use them if they brought them anyway! </p> <p>This is pretty ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1116940 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:49:35 +0000 looch 1116940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are they bringing in porta potties?</p> <p>I have worked in blackouts with generator failures. My assumption is that the highly critical people need to stay and everyone else should have the option to leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1116936 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:49:05 +0000 IRunForFun 1116936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're supposed to send you home if the water gets shut off...but maybe I'm wrong. That seems ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-bathrooms-need-to-pee#post-1116931 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:46:53 +0000 Circusbee 1116931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so all morning my office building has been having issues with hot water, water pressure, and toilets. Meaning, no toilets will flush anywhere in the building and there are leaks happening all over the place.</p> <p>We were just now informed that the county is shutting off our water until the problem is fixed (probably tomorrow) and that if we need to use the restroom we must make "other arrangements". Is this legal?? I work in a pretty large office made up of mostly women... So of course no one can shut up about it and that makes me have to pee even more!! I just want to go home! This is going to be hilarious tonight and on Monday, but right now it's pretty horrible! </p>
