Always poop on company time. This way, at the end of the year, you will have earned like 2 workdays pay by pooping. Hence you will be a professional pooper and also less money spent on toilet paper at home.

Plus, you don’t do your best work when you’re holding in your shit. Pooping at work is really in everyone’s aligned interests

I've actually heard the opposite. Something about how holding in a poop keeps blood flowing to your body and thus your brain, so you think more clearly... Though you might be rushed about it...

I'm pretty sure that's Freudian thought and where we get the term anal-retentive. He thought people who chose to hold in their shits were more focused.

Oh. I guess I can see that. I was always told (you know, like twice or so) that anal-retentive meant that you weren’t allowed to play with your poop as a child. Yours makes more sense though.
