Bonus question, do you have a favorite work resteoom that’s out of the way and less likely to be disturbed?

I think my record is about 15 minutes and my favorite restroom is located on an unoccupied floor. Currently there scrolling lemmy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    TL;DR; 4 hours every day for 3 months.

    Not the restroom but, a long time ago, a company tried to make me quit and fuck me in the ass in the process because of management issues to say the least. I was essential to the company and I knew it and they knew it, and they could not sue me because the boss was a famous bully in town (he still is).

    I once told them I would quit, and during the mandatory “3 months notice” (in France, equivalent to your 2 weeks notice in the USA but legally mandatory), I was watching movies and playing games in my car during lunch from 11 AM to 3 PM. 4 hours of pure fun and entertainment every day, which was half depression, and half watching every TV show out there.

    The software dev contract in France is usually “you have no specific hours, you don’t clock in/out, you’re free to organize your own time, but we don’t pay you overtime.” My boss told me that I was basically a slave because of that, and refused me some more work from home because he was petty. I took that as a hint that I could work whenever I wanted to. One lawyer friend of mine confirmed that it was legit as long as I quit. I did that as a small message to my bosses and middle managers, aka “fuck you and fuck you forever.”
