- flukus 10y agoI don't think I've ever been somewhere with more toilets than managers, that probably supports the assertion though.
- dripton 10y agoThat is beautiful, but I need more data. 1. Do project managers, product managers, etc. count, or only real managers with teams reporting to them? 2. Do urinals count, or only real sit-down toilets?
- duckmuck 10y agoUrinals MUST count. Assuming that women's bathrooms have more sit-down toilets than men's, we are biased. It is unfair and sexist to allow female dominated companies more than their fair share of project managers! /s
- baddox 10y agoDo women's bathrooms have more sit down toilets than men's?
- untog 10y agoUsually, yes, in the space occupied by urinals in the men's toilets. But you can fit more urinals in that space.
- dspillett 10y agoGenerally, though less toilets in total because you can cram more urinals into the same space. A common small office toilet space has room for three stalls so in the female room that is what you'll find. In the male variant the space of one of the stalls will instead be given to two individual urinals or a small "urinal wall" that comfortably houses two people or you can get three into if people are desperate. Larger rooms offer greater flexibility, but ultimately urinals take less space than stalls so you get more of them. Of course that doesn't always mean more people going at the same time as some people don't like urinating so close to someone else so the second spot goes unused, and some of us prefer to sit for a no.1 anyway unless in a rush.
