No phone, no talking: Man describes 'jail' like workplace environment

The workplace should promote growth, collaboration, and fulfilment. However, far too frequently, subtle actions and systemic issues create toxic environments, quietly eroding morale and productivity. It can lead to low team morale, silent resignations, and unplanned turnover. However, it can also lead to increased stress, poorer productivity, and emotional damage.

A man on Reddit elaborated on a similar workplace environment and described it as 'jail' like. Here's what he said.

A user on Reddit shared a screenshot of a text from a guy who described his jail-like office environment. User xZendic1 shared the post with the title, "Cant even imagine working in this condition," followed by a screenshot. 

The screenshot reads, "I cannot even look at anything else order than my desktop. Cannot even close my eyes for a while to prevent eye strain. Phone's not allowed in the office even if it's a call from family unless really really urgent. Cannot use washroom frequently because it's time consuming. Cannot talk to the person sitting right beside me to prevent chaos in the office I have to text him and talk on Microsoft teams if there is a requirement. Literal silent office. No talking even for a second. Jail is better. At least I can talk there and look somewhere else or at least stand up if I want to [sic]." 

How did people on the internet react? 

Many people on the internet were angry at the employee for putting up with such an environment and advised them to just "resign." Here's what people wrote in the comments.
