Today, I'm working for a company that makes over a million dollars a year, yet leaves me with no choice but to pee in a cup because they won't pay to fix the only toilet in the building. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my work finally hired someone to replace some leaky pipes. I work in the basement by myself, and just as I walked under the newly-fixed pipes, I got soaked with what appeared to be water. Apparently it was connected to a toilet. My boss couldn't find a replacement, so they made me work covered in piss. FML
Today, my boss told me to find the bad smell coming from the apartment we were working on. I found the bathtub about 4 inches high full of piss, and spent the next hour bailing it out into a bucket because the drain wasn't connected yet. I have pee stains in all the wrong places. FML
Today, I had to pee in the kitchen sink because my bathroom is being completely revamped, and the only other toilet in the house is my parents'. They refuse to let anyone use it. FML
Today, as if having diarrhea at work wasn’t bad enough, my office’s aggressively flushing toilet sprayed me with my own liquid shit. FML
Today, at work I had to spend two hours cleaning up stinky toilet water. Why? Because yesterday, I forgot to turn on the septic tank pumps. The tank overflowed, and so did all the toilets. My boss is not happy. FML
Today, I found out that a water pipe at my work had burst over the weekend. There is absolutely no water in the building, including the bathrooms. It's a 9-hour day, and I took a laxative this morning before I came in. FML
Today, my bosses were boasting about their work-funded retreat, including the $1,800 bottle of wine the company paid for. This would be fine if they hadn't just told me there are no funds to pay me for the work they've got me doing. We are also the biggest company in our industry. FML
Today, my work decided to fire me. Three days ago, I sat down with my boss and asked if they could fix the sewage leak in my office, and maybe look into how loud it is. FML
Today, I took a massive dump in a trashcan in the back of my company's catering truck. We have a professional tailgate spread for clients to enjoy at the local games. My boss got drunk and left me to work it alone for 8 hours. The closest bathroom is 1/2 mile away. I hate my job. FML
Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

A million dollars a year even in profits isn't that much for a company you need to consider that they have to pay rent, employees, taxes, utilities, merchandise, advertising, and they have to support their family as well so after all that is factored out maybe they can't afford to fix it

Blow them in. It's illegal.

Revenue isn't the same a profit. If they conduct business, pay bills, pay you, pay their own salary and still break even, they're doing quite well in the current economy

Hardly, there are many, many companies doing very well. Check Wallstreet Journal for example, many companies are miles in the green.

check local regulations. that may be a health code violation.

As some other have said, this is a very clear violation with OSHA and their regulations. If your company isn't following these, it can cost them so much more in fines than the small cost to fix and or replace a toilet. Reporting them is your best bet to getting it fixed. If they want to stay in business and avoid being fined for repeated violations then they'll have someone in there pretty quick to repair the problems. What a company's profits are before or after expenses doesn't matter, and especially not to OSHA. You violate their regulations you're going to have an issue, and if it doesn't get fixed fines will build. For all the comments about the company not being able to repair the problems because they don't have enough funds at the end of the day, that's a load of crap. If they are losing profit, this won't put a dent in their reports when all is said and done; even if it means replacing the piping for the entire bathroom, OP said this is the only one in the entire building and that tells me this building more than likely isn't very large. At most, it might cost a few hundred bucks, and even if they are making millions but still losing profits after I'm willing to bet what they are losing isn't near as much as the amount they'll need to repair any problems.
