    This is absolutely asinine. Water is a basic necessity for human survival. What you will end up with is staff too ill to work… At the minimum. Whoever nodded and went “yep, this is a good idea” needs to actually see what it’s like to go work a shift in 40c+ heat and no hydration. Pure, concentrated stupidity. Their blood is on the governors hands but I sincerely doubt they give a shit.

      I don’t think I’d be able to do my boring office job without regular water access. It’s purely madness to expect someone to do a physical job without as much water as one needs.
