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.
