    Is it possible that they did this because there's just no easy access to restrooms like being stuck in traffic? I have friends who have done this when they were stuck in traffic. I imagine that when UPS drivers do their deliveries like in the suburbs, there might not be public restrooms nearby.

  I 100% agree on the "this is not how humans treat humans". This sort of thing is what comes up when you can only be measured by numbers. And someone four levels above you says the numbers need to improve by 2%. At that point you ar a number, or at least they are treating you as your output, not as a human.

      Higher ups might not even see that number, they see avail time divided by paid time, and they want to push "efficiency" up.
