What companies out there are counting bathroom breaks for office workers?

I mean, I know there is a total thick line between how office and production workers are treated, but why the heck would anyone stay in an office that was treating them like that when there are companies literally begging office people to come work for them right now? There are people I know right now absolutely raking companies by rejecting their first and sometimes second and third offers to get a better salary. Know a lady who kept saying no until they gave her 60% more than their initial salary offer.

Production? Totally different story, they're asked to do more and more and production environments seem worse and worse.
