At the first call center I ever worked at, any bathroom breaks we had to take outside of our regularly scheduled breaks had to be deducted from those breaks. So if nature called and I had to leave the call floor for five minutes, my next break would only be ten minutes instead of fifteen.

On the assembly line we had a multi-skilled “utility man” who could fill in for anyone who needed to go to the can or whatever. We also had a union.
