TIME FOR BUSINESS

Some workers have no problem “conducting their business” while, well, conducting their business, said Shaunacy Ferro in FastCompany.com. These days, it’s easier than ever to work from anywhere, and a new survey from Ikea of more than 8,000 people in cities around the world found that some people aren’t bothered by working “on the pot.” For instance, at least 17 percent of respondents in New York and Stockholm admitted to having worked or studied while using the toilet. “In cities like Berlin, London, Moscow, Mumbai, Paris, and Shanghai, the bathroom workforce was closer to 10 percent.” According to the report, the phenomenon may be due to the rising cost of urban living, which encourages “people to cluster into tinier apartments,” erasing traditional room functions and forcing workers to make their living spaces “more multifunctional.”
