Childish, petty, liars

Yesterday we worked hard and got the plane done around 8 hours before it was due. And as there was nothing else to do our shift leader told us we could all have an early day off. A bunch of the guys asked him if we would be paid if we got sent home. He said that he had the nod from a couple of the higher ups that it was OK. So merrily we trotted off home.

Today when we got in we were told that the company bean counter. Who my old shift leader knew as "Mr Ugly" as he had a face to match his personality decided that we should not get paid because we went home. So he complained to the head boss of the place. Who being a penny pinching, short sighted, unperson able type decided that Mr Ugly had a very good point. Despite being approved by a few other managers, the big boss is over ruling everything and we are only getting half a days pay.

What a great way to motivate your already jaded and "can't be arsed with it" work force who has just taken a pay cut a month ago. So next time he needs us to pick up the pace, go the extra mile or do him a favour, I think all readers can guess the outcome. So much for being rewarded for working hard eh? And if we ever get the nod to finish early next time I think we'll all just prefer to stay at work and scratch our arses till its time to go.
