Appreciate the memo and the poetic phrasing around air quality. Truly. While I didn’t realize we’d started categorizing restroom visits like a DMV line (“Now serving: Number 2”), I guess I’m glad we’re embracing transparency.
That said, I just want to gently point out that some of us don’t exactly get a calendar invite when our stomachs decide to act up. Digestive drama doesn’t clock in and out with intake flow. And sure, I could hike to the main walkway bathroom every time my gut gets sassy but if I end up sprinting in heels and tripping over my own dignity, I just hope someone’s there with a worker’s comp form and a protein bar.
Also, not to be dramatic this email kind of felt like a subtweet with a cc line. IF it was about me, I’d rather we just talk.
Doing my best as always,
Gina
