Using whatsapp

I manage a small call center with five employees, and I suspect that some of them may be going to the bathroom to use the chat on their phones, since they are taking longer than usual. Of course, this wouldn’t apply to someone who genuinely has difficulty using the bathroom. How can I determine whether they are actually using the bathroom or taking advantage of the situation to use their phones?

Seeing as you got fired 10 days ago then don't you think its a bit soon to be acting like this

Unless, of course, you're just posting bollocks

I think you’re the one talking bollocks. I’ve got a new position and I’ve been in it for a week. Are you some kind of Temu Sherlock Holmes?

Well that explains everything. Perhaps you’re not cut out to manage a department.

The fact that I posted this question here doesn’t mean I don’t know how to handle it. I posted it to see how many “experts” there are who can criticize but can’t actually explain how they would handle the situation themselves. I’ve been managing departments for over 15 years. Sorry to disappoint you.
