You have never had an employee refuse to take it? You're station must be full of candy asses who are terrified of mgmt. At my station SFA is the favorite time of year. About 40% of us refuse to take it and we love watching the managers chase us everyday in the morning and when we get off the road in the afternoon begging us to take it. We just laugh,refuse and walk away.
I guess that's the difference between the entitlement mentality of the east coast vs. the work for a living mentality of the midwest. I really don't mean any personal offense by that, but the East/West Coasts do generally believe they are better than those in the middle of the country, just watch the evening news for proof of that.
I don't think any of my employees are terrified of mgmt, I always try to do what's right by them as much as possible and within reason. Of course you can't please them all everyday, but I control what I can and I think they are smart enough to know that a lot of what affects them is out of my hands locally. I do my best to treat them fairly, and they do the same.
