[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 622144, member: 14596"] Nice Freudian slip with the typing. Yes, commons sense DOES exist. See, you just have to go to the dramatic moralistic language. Yes, I want time to talk to my slaves. Good lord man. My people are not slaves, they are human beings, and I do not treat anyone as a slave. But guess what? When they talk, more often than not, they stop working. If they are talking and working at the same time, I have no reason to be even remotely concerned. But when I observe an employee chatting next to an open box holding a tape gun in his hand, not taping anything, not loading any packages, but just talking, for 8 solid minutes, that is a cause for concern. This sorta thing happens all the time. But you want to find every way you can to explain it away with dramatic rhetoric like "we are not slaves!", or whatever other argument you can come up with to stay morally superior to management. From my experience, from a stealing hours standpoint, hourlies steal a lot more total hours from us than we still from them. Not because I believe management are by and large somehow morally superior to hourlies. Simple mathematics, there are simply many times more hourlies than management. [/QUOTE]
