'I wasn't allowed to have water': Employee walks out of working interview because of employer's bizarre rules

I bet this employer can't wait for the android revolution that we've been promised. After all, an android wouldn't need to spend two minutes on the bathroom break that results from being properly hydrated.

This would-be employee walked out of a shadowing session (working interview) after seeing some bizarre red flags from the employer. They had been excited about the idea of the new role since it was paying $2 an hour more than they were currently making. But during their shadowing session, some issues arose that made them second-guess the entire thing.

They were informed by the employer that the shifts would be ten hours long… and they weren't allowed to drink water for the entire duration of their shift. It's just hilarious that the employer somehow thinks that having chronically dehydrated employees would somehow allow them to maintain greater efficiency. Surely adequately hydrated workers would work with more vigor, which would more than make up for the occasional bathroom break.

This is just another case of an employer shortsightedly trying to scrape pennies while being blissfully unaware of how to actually treat their employees as human beings, or actually run a business.
