what kind of work places have communal shower rooms where you can laugh at each other?
Office blocks that have gyms.
The office where I work in central London, UK has bike parking for 300 and only eight vehicle parking spaces. We also have a fitness suite. There's two (male and female) locker rooms with showers, towels provided, a drying room.
At least one of the green building standards doesn't give you the top rating unless you have provision for active travel, institutional investors won't buy your shiny new building unless it's rated "Excellent" or "Platinum", tenants are looking for added extras which encourage their staff to come to the office rather than WFH.
And Westminster Council charges business rates (property tax) on parking spaces.
Manufacturing plants? Usually if there's a changing room there's showers
Used to work at a tire factory and we got paid $1.50 a shift on shower time. I absolutely needed it with how filthy i would get each shift
What qualifications does such a job require?
Pass a full panel drug test and have a pulse
And be 100% ok with having work only clothes since carbon black ruins everything.
We had uniforms that dod a great job of taking most of the grime for me. But operating a Banbury was the dirtiest i have ever gotten at work.
Many white collar offices have gyms.
The building I worked at in the Chicago loop had showers for bike commuters. Might be a big city thing.
Also most factories have shower rooms because it's physical labour and you often smell by the end of the day.
I work in an office and I smell by the end of the day
As someone mentioned, gyms. I biked to work at one of my previous places, and if I wanted to shower, I'd head to the on campus gym. That gym had stalls, so theoretically ou could talk in the shower, though I never did.

Office I worked in had shower rooms. I did bike to work but never showered there because eeewwww.
My last two offices had showers. No communal room, but the thing I remember most about the last one is the hot water being pumped from the furnaces of hell itself. It took so long go get there, and was so hot once it did I can't think of any other explanation.
