Efficiency-obsessed tech firms are sticking newsletters on toilet stall walls to keep employees productive while they poop

, Yelp, Jet.com, Group Nine and others have all also adopted the practice in recent years, Business Insider found.

It sounds like something from a script of the satirical "Silicon Valley" TV show on HBO, but the bathroom work reading is as unsurprising a sight at many tech companies today as ping-pong tables or a barista. But these days, the California-based search giant is far from the only company to capitalize on employees' bathroom downtime as an opportunity for learning.

In a statement provided to Business Insider by a spokesperson, Yelp employee Shrayus Gupta, who co-maintains the program, wrote: "In March 2019, Yelp's San Francisco headquarters started the "Learning on the Loo" program where an engineer from any team has the opportunity to write about an engineering or work related topic and see their work published in bathroom stalls across the office.

"Most jobs are premised on the existence of what sociologists call the 'ideal worker,' and this is someone who is essentially available to work at all times they may be needed" Luhr wrote in an email.

Internal communication in the office bathrooms can be pretty amusing and memorable, I saw a great piece at esetcz, but, on toilets seriously?!

The next step. To mount artificial eye to the right place to keep employees reading newsletters while cleaning their asses.

I thought you’d find this amusing. digitalassetbuy

or perhaps it is because efficiency obsessed tech realizes their newsletters are only used for the bottom of birdcages anyway
