For yeah, yeah, yeah, on the cutting room floor today,
gen Z are ready to quit their job over bathroom anxiety.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
This is interesting many gen Z. Did you say, you
said gen Z?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I say gen Z. It just rolls off the time.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Jen Z Washington. Gen Z is in the people in
their twenties. They're saying here that the workers are reporting
feeling uneasy using office bathrooms, with worries about noise, privacy,
awkward moments becoming a recurring stress point. Some even say
a single embarrassing incident has made them think about leaving,
highlighting how small discomforts can influence younger employees view their workplace.

(01:12):
I wonder if this is COVID. This is the generation
that did a lot of their schooling at home, a
generation that hasn't had those social norms and privacy was
an easier thing. You're not living your embarrassments out in
an office setting and might be working from home a

(01:33):
couple of days a week. I wonder if this is
one of the fallouts from that. Yeah, because the toilets
are embarrassing. Work toilets are embarrassing for men, probably not
so much for women, hugely embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Some people are more open about it than others.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
They are. I wonder if are they people have come
from big families or people who went to boarding school.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
You're a bit of both.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, I went to a big family and boarding school,
and you yeah, you just had to go, you know,
you go to the toilet.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's what you had to do because you lived at
the school.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, that's right, So that was difficult.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
And in the workplace as well.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I remember a to work at a factory making aluminion
casings for various things, and you'd run off to the
duney to go and kill twenty minutes, and then you
have the boss being on the door, what are you doing.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
In there because you've been off the.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Factory line for twenty minutes. And I think with the
in the main office here, I try not to do
a WP explain a work pooh, because.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
You know there's a good chance you got to run
into someone that you know in there.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
That worry you.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Girls would rather go into witness protection than have to
do that how But what guys don't seem to mind.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
And then there's some people like Brad.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
He one day, I'm just at the urinal and he
walks into go for a Borrington and he's just chatting
away and then he's doing a big pooh you know that.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
But he's talking to me while he's going through emotions,
and I'm sitting there and I'm thinking, well, and I'm
washing my hands. I'm thinking, well, at what point do
I wrap this conversation?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
I wish you'd guess one up.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
He can't see me, but I'm outside and he's going, yeah, anyway,
what about that, Brad. I'm leaving the room now because
I didn't want I didn't want him to be awkward.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
That I've left the room and he's still talking to
an empty.

Speaker 4 (03:16):

to it.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
This is Remember we used to work another radio station
that was very masculine, and no one cared.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
The guys just didn't give a right.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
They didn't care at all.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
There's a certain freedom and not caring. But women care enormously.

Speaker 2 (03:32):

My youngest son was working at a pub and it
annoyed him that he didn't like the idea that half
the cubicles were taken up by people doing drugs right
when he's trying to work. So he'd go on his break,
sit on his phone and do a number two and
people were snorting expensive drugs all around him while he.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Was just stinking up the place. That was his kind
of revenge.

Speaker 3 (04:24):

know I'm a big mate mate. Tone We're one day
at his house and he lives just down the right
from a pizza hut and we're getting pizzas So we
walked down to the pizza hut and while we're to
pick up the pizzas, and guy said, oh mate, there'll
be another six or seven minutes, and he goes, I'll
just go next door to the duney.
