~ Red Wristband ~

by Tina~in_ut

I watch the Conan show and he made a joke about this one night.  I thought he made it up, so I looked online to see if it was actually true.  I was astounded.  A boss in Norway made a new policy stating that all women must wear a red wristband when on their period so that everyone would know that they needed more restroom time than others.  It was only discovered when a worker's union was doing a study on tyrannical restroom rules among Norwegian companies.  Obviously, the women were humiliated.

This same study uncovered other companies requiring employees to sign a visitor's book, or use a key card, and even went as far as to use video surveillance for restroom visits.  I thought it was bad because I only have a certain amount of time to use each day for breaks, including restroom visits.  Ha!  I guess it's true what people say.....It could always be worse!~
