| Boss says that we aren't allowed to have water bottles in a meeting unless we have a medical reason for needing water during a 3 he meeting. Should I just get my doctor to fudge a need for water? I could go 3 hrs without dying but I would like to have a drink of water. |

| What is the reason behind this rule? |

| What the hell kind of person do you work for?! I'd be less concerned about a doctor's note and more concerned about finding another job... |

| why exactly can't you have a water bottle at a meeting? That's insane. Everyone at my work brings coffee or tea too. |

I am sorry, but what the hell?
Has there been an issue with food and drink that would explain this militant no water policy for a 3 hours meeting? If I could not switch jobs to work with more sane people, I guess I would attempt to get a note, but I can't imagine explaining it to my doctor. Like how would that go "well my boss is kind of a psycho about water bottles..." |

This I could do! Wow. Finally a benefit to having had radiation treatment that killed my salivary glands.
Find a new job. This is only the beginning. Next will be that breathing during business hours is verboten. |

| Are you allowed to go to bathroom? Or does he want doc's note for that too? |

I had a doctor write a note so I could wear flip flops and slippers when my feet were swollen during my third trimester.

| Boss tells us that he doesn't want any distractions during the meeting. we can't have phones, laptops, food, drinks etc. |

| This is insane! There HAS to be a backstory or reason why. There just has to be. |

| are you all millennials who can't focus on more than one thing at a time or something? There has to be more to this story...like people having water fights or something. |

| Yes I suppose I'm a millennial but I'm capable of listening, writing notes and occasionally sipping water. |
