The issue isn't about pay. It's about measuring so aggressively and turning the screws until you extract every last bit of value out of someone.

If a company is measuring the duration and frequency of bathroom breaks (to pick one of many examples that's been highlighted in the press), something has gone fundamentally wrong.
