[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 283221, member: 13254"] Hell no I don't want them up my wazoo...ever..and that's my point in some of the things I say to them. Leave me alone to do my job and I'll get it done. The last thing I want is to drag the day out, I get finished as quickly as I possibly can with the tools they provide. Hounding me over THEIR illogical numbers that have nothing to do with real world conditions can't make it go faster. Thanks for helping prove my point that supervisors have no sense of humor. Actually it wasn't what I said that I thought was funny, it was the fact that the conversation ever took place. So it's diatribe to point out that , over/ under, allowances, SPORH, planned day and other such terms are not mentioned in the contract anywhere? If I'm not mistaken the only term used is "honest days work". Now are you sure you've heard that 7 times? Maybe it was really just 6 and you're exaggerating.
