Judging by some of the responses on this thread, it's no wonder employers are looking for every way possible to outsource jobs abroad or automate them.

What a bunch of whiners. "Waaaah, I hadda stand in line to punch my time clock and I didn't get paaaiiiddd for those two minutes! Waaaah!"

I worked at a gov’t site once. Showed up at 8 am for the safety meeting, spent some time filling out forms, then waiting for the safety guy to escort us to the site. Got out there about 10:30 finally ready to work.

11:25 rolls around and the safety guy (sitting in his truck the entire time), comes over and says “You guys ready to go to lunch?”

Turns out their union rules required an hour lunch at the cafeteria. A half-hour one-way trip from where we were working. And he was off at 5 pm sharp - which meant leaving the site at 4:15 pm.

We did get things figured out so he could eat on-site and work overtime. But the first two days was crazy!

Yea, we’re a bunch of whiners who want to be paid for work.
