HR algorithm flagged me for 'unusual behavior' after I took 3 bathroom breaks in one shift

I was clocking back in from my third coffee trip at the warehouse when my supervisor pulled me aside and said the system logged a 'productivity anomaly alert' on me, so I spent the next 20 minutes explaining to the software team that some people just drink a lot of water - has anyone else's workday been derailed by a dumb algorithm?

Blame the robots for needing a pee break now I guess.

I mean, next they'll be flagging us for blinking too much or taking a breath that's too deep. Pretty soon we'll all have to file a formal request just to use the bathroom.

Wait, are we supposed to download a patch to take a deep breath now?
