How About We Just Trust Adults To Use The Bathroom?

Our manager is strict to the point of being unreasonable. It takes a turn one day when a female coworker is on her monthly cycle.

Coworker: “I’m going to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.”

Manager: “No, you need to finish this first.”

Coworker: “No, trust me, [Manager], I really should go.”

Manager: “And why is that?”

Coworker: “Because I’m on my period, [Manager]! And I’m about to bleed out!”

As unreasonable as he is, he is married with daughters, so he let her go, but he tried to write her up for talking back to him. After the owner asked the assistant manager and me about it, he tore up the write-up and told our manager not to be a jerk again.
