1 In 3 Gen Z Workers Is Too Scared To Use Office Bathrooms: Study | Firstpost Trendspot

A recent survey by QS Supplies revealed that Gen Z workers are avoiding office bathrooms like the plague, with one in three too scared to use them. Privacy concerns, fear of smells, and noise top the list of reasons for this workplace loo-phobia. Women are particularly reluctant, with nearly half avoiding the restroom compared to just 19% of men. While some employees bravely hold it in until they get home, others suffer health issues like stress and constipation. Companies also take a financial hit, losing thousands annually due to bathroom breaks—although some workers admit to using the restroom as an excuse for a sneaky nap. The findings highlight how something as universal as “going” can still spark workplace drama.
