This is a gamer term. I've never heard it in a business environment. Even as a IT engineer.

I like it because it's so vague.

A nap is pretty biological! And nobody will ask why your bio break was an hour long.

Thats not so much a corpo thing as a gamer thing IMO.

"AFK, Bio break" is much quicker to type.

Yeah, hate this. To everyone saying it's not corporate: or certainly is. I did B2B work for around a hundred corps through the one I worked at and I heard it at probably 70% of them.

It's just the company trying to control literally every part of your life. Like who gives a shit what I do on my break? That, and you can't get an "extra" break later saying you have to pee.

I work at a school and that one gets used sometimes. A lady that helps us develop programming said it quite often and my colleagues picked it up, I don’t use it myself.

Huh. I literally only know this from the context of mmo games.

TIL where that is from

fuck. i hate this one the most.

just say “break.” let everyone else decide for themselves if it needs to be biological in nature.

Bio break.

My friend uses that all the time.

It means a pee break, a tea break, sometimes a 'walk rover' break. When meetings cross that 44-min mark, it's break time.

I don’t use that, I usually just say I’m going to go grab some water but it’s better than saying “brb ima go take a wicked piss”. That being said, I’d respect the hell out of anyone who said that
