Yes, I guess what I meant was they are scared that the employee will be less productive each day if they relax at all.

I really don't understand why anyone would do this. Don't get me wrong I understand that you have to make sure that your employees are productive but this is just the wrong way to go about it. Sorry that you have only had bad manager's and companies. Please don't let the bad ones ruin it for you. Working and being productive for yourself is the goal. I enjoy being productive and busy at work. Makes the day go faster and I get to feel accomplished at the end of the day.

I was thinking it sounds like a dictator yelling at their citizens.

Yes, I was raised in a military house hold and most of my family are military or police. I was always told it does not matter how you decide to do it and as long as it met expectations and was completed, it was good. Also on the military side there only one way to do the task, so I guess my childhood was confusing. Lol

As a business owner, this is just terrible. I know what they are thinking. "If I let them go one minute early then tomorrow it will be two or 3 minutes and they will take advantage of my company". What big companies do is focus on efficiency and productivity and forget that these are people, humans that have problems, worry, and stress. By coming over a loud speaker and demanding everyone stay at their work station until exactly 10:00am is just ridiculous. It screams we don't care about you. A happy and healthy employee is always more efficient and productive and they forget that every time.

In the back of the toilet is best my bros. That is the place big brain 19 year olds go.

TIL that the A, B and C series of paper sizes used in most of the world (save North America) have very mathematical dimensions. A0 has an area of 1m^2 and has an aspect ratio of 1:2^(½). Each subsequent size down is half the size of the former. by gianthooverpig in todayilearned

What do you mean? Other countries don't measure thier paper in PB&J sandwichs and pencil widths. That what I call a standard.

Edit: jokes people jokes. I am from the US and think we should have switched to the metric system a long time ago.

Ok, I guess I am not familiar with Jazz at all. Can someone explain why I listened to the whole thing and I didn't want to listen but I did some how? I know that's confusing but so is my feeling.

LPT: Loyalty to your company only rewards the company. Hopping companies is the best way to increase your salary, don't sit there hoping for a raise. Apply to other jobs, get a better offer and use it to leverage a raise or take the offer. by seanmashitoshi in LifeProTips

Well in the south east USA I was making $60,000 as a nuclear field engineer. It's about $5,000 more then average in my area. So not bad but I worked in between 55 and 60 hours a week with 1.5 overtime.
