Every 25 year guy I've talked to always tells me the same thing....They have never seen anyone get fired for production.
We had this case where one guy really wanted to piss off management, so he decided one day to run, or should I say walk a 7 SPORH. They TRIED to fire him, only when it got to the panel, he got off with a 1 week vacation, I mean, suspension, and he was back giving management hard ons again. He made out like a bandit on that one cause after that all they did was assign him to shuttle and pick up misloads.
