53 minutes in washroom visits prompted an Ahmedabad employee's claim that his company told him to stay 40 minutes late for exceeding an unofficial 30-minute limit.
The worker, who said he has spent nearly 10 months at a small revenue cycle management company, wrote on Reddit that management monitored the breaks even though he leaves his phone at his desk and finishes tasks on time.
Reddit users said the employee may be getting singled out and urged him to watch whether the complaint came from his direct manager or to consider leaving the job.
The post widened into a broader debate over workplace surveillance, privacy and whether tightly tracking bathroom breaks reflects micromanagement rather than a real productivity issue.
