To refuse to work out of the office

[Jolinar]

Because it isn't fit for purpose?

3 female toilets, 3 male toilets and an accessible loo.

There are serious drain issues and all bar 1 female toilet and 1 male toilet are out of action. In the 2 working toilets, you have to flush twice before anything disappears and there is only a trickle of water coming form the taps, it isn't sufficient to wash your hands - it comes back down the tap so even less gets on your hands. So we have to use the sink in the kitchenette (the only other sink that isn't in one of the consulting rooms) to wash our hands after using the loo.

I can do my job totally from home (and did in lockdown) however we are supposed to be hybrid working, with a minimum of 3 days in the office. Its a health center, so germ central!

AIBU to insist I work from home until the toilet issue is resolved?

Not having proper toilet facilities is unbelievably grim and stressful and is illegal.

The worst place I ever worked at had one ladies toilet shared between 15 female staff and at the time I had a stoma. Changing a colostomy bag with someone hammering on the door and screaming at you is the most hideously stressful experience in my working life. Hence I left as soon as I could.

Because you're making up so many reasons for why a broken toilet and no washing up facilities is absolutely fine. It's rank. I would dread to see your house if you think that's fine. Same with others who are happy to do this, it's disgusting. 🤢 We have plumbing for a reason, use it and keep it working.

Op is doing the right thing, whether you or others believe it. It's disgusting.

Correct.

The OP appears to be American, so HSE info prob not relevant

Why do you think I'm American?
