I recently got a new job and the men’s room has urinal dividers, much to my consternation. I want to petition HR for their removal, but I’m having a hard time thinking of a legitimate reason for the request, and a professional way to approach it. Any suggestions? I find the whole situation very distressing.

OP, if you weren't 5'5" you could glance over top of them.

Tell them you have a disability that requires the dividers be removed. HR will jump right on it.

Isn't there a drain free of obstruction you could use instead? Americans will always be prudish simpletons, especially HR frauen.

Tell them you have a "wide arm stance" and need more elbow room.

It must be terrible for you not being able to ogle other men's cocks whilst you're urinating. Your human rights have definitely been violated here.
Perhaps some dogging after work will relieve the frustration?
Or perhaps just try some actually dogs. The canine variety. That might satisfy you?

It will only get worse, I'm afraid, what with the hysteria surrounding gender-neutral bathrooms. Soon there will be fully contained room-like stalls. Urinal partitions are but one of the many Jim Crow codes of our time.

Only tinymeats(under 7) want dividers so OP must be a sizemeat(8+)!
Alternately OP you could select a slow time and go to the T room with a hand drill and make a nice glory hole in one of the stalls!

Keep the damn dividers. I hate getting sprayed with your urine when you checkout my size meat.
Your little pecker just follows your eyes and whamo. YOUR urine is running down MY pants with your mouth open.

Nope, R19, gay men are men.
You really don't think that if straight men and women shared a bathroom that they wouldn't try and peek into the stalls at the women?

I just whip it out and spray on the floor

I'm sure some straight men would, R21, and they probably get a thrill watching women wipe their asses or change a tampon. How sexy!

Cait at R11, it’s already going towards enclosed rooms to be used by either sex in California.
I went to a public bathroom last week in a fast food restaurant where a male had used his dick to gleefully hose down the entire toilet seat, back of the toilet behind the seat, floor and walls. Cleaning a public toilet before I could sit anywhere near it, then trodding through a pool of urine to get to the sink is just what I always wanted.
What an improvement over being able to use a female-only bathroom that doesn’t look like it’s been sprayed with a urine-filled fire hose. Yay trans equality.
BTW, I also noticed in California public bathrooms they have posted detailed diagrams explaining exactly how to wash one’s hands and fingernails, as well as having the hot water already adjusted to pretty hot water. That must be about the flu, it’s getting really bad there.

Urinal dividers are the death of civilization. I hate them. I hope they never get installed at sports staduims, which are the best places to see a steady steam (no pun intended) of cocks.

Dividers allow pee shy guys (or guys who aren't comfortable whipping their dicks out) to stay out of the stalls. Keeps stalls 100x cleaner.
As for gender neutral single restrooms, they really should have waterless urinals for the same reason. When they don't, I use a piece of toilet paper to lift the seat while taking a leak.

lol. Most companies are located in buildings they lease. Often there are multiple companies in the building. HR has nothing to do with this ever. It’s the building management. Just signed lease in a new building. Tiny urinals with no dividers. I’m just waiting for the complaints to start.

Our gym has a unisex T room: one stall for non-fish, one for fish, one for handicapped.
If we enter and see the fish stall either about to be occupied, occupied, or recently occupied we flee immediatly to avoid stink-hole odors/sounds/contaminatia!

My college football stadium had (and still has, I think) a round, maybe eight-foot diameter fountain thing where guys stand in front of it and pee. It's basically impossible not to look. I'm not complaining, mind you.

I miss urinal troughs in gay bar back rooms. Staff would fill them with ice at the beginning of their shift.

Convincing management to remove those urinal dividers is not going to happen. Ask them to be removed and they will see you as the cock watching little cocksucker you are. But being sympathetic to your situation, my suggestion is to find a way to push the urinal traffic to the stalls and set up a nice glory hole. You will need to be creative and discreet in that respect . Glory holes are just so efficient for this sort of conundrum. But don’t get too hungry or else you’ll blow the whole operation.

R40 That kind of where my mind was going. "My pronouns are they, and them, and my urinals have no dividers."

Carry loose change. Drop a coin in front of the urinal. When you lean down to pick up the coin, you can look up from under the divider to check out your target. A similar technique also works in stalls.

Tell HR about your horrible battles with claustrophobia your entire life and ask that they replace the solid dividers with clear plexiglass ones. Of course, I wouldn't want to be the one who would have to Windex them several times daily.
