Many Chinese companies have long tried to prevent workers from spending too much time on the toilet in various ways, such as installing countdown timers on stalls or limiting toilet breaks to one per day..

One Shenzhen-based tech company went even further by installing hidden surveillance cameras in restrooms to monitor worker activity, then shaming those who spent too much time there by posting screenshots of them for everyone to see..

A company representative admitted that workers were monitored in the company toilet, but argued that this measure was intended to prevent waste of time during working hours.

" Smoking in the restroom is prohibited, and the goal is to prevent a long stay of people there due to video games and other activities, ”the company noted.

This behavior of the company caused outrage on social networks. Many users accused her of violating the privacy of her employees and even breaking the law..

As journalists noted, this practice is not new in China. A few years ago there was a similar story about another technological company in Syamen, which also used surveillance cameras to monitor activity in its restrooms and prevented a long break in visiting the toilet.

Recall that in the UK, highly organized thieves stole 13 mobile toilets.
