I wasn’t there but I am not buying the “insurance problems” line. What a crock. Every insurance policy that P&G had in place was still in place when those employees where working. If they got hurt they would still get worker’s comp and I am sure they still had their company paid health insurance. The company’s liability policies were still in full force.

Wow it was so hard that some of them had to go to med school and some of them had to find other jobs. Oh the horror of it all, people making decisions based on their self interest. Some employees decided to work off the clock and some decide to quit. Some thought it was a great paying job and others left for more money.

Sounds like you are happy with alot of rules and hall monitors.

Again, I was there and YOU WERE NOT. This was not a universal company practice; there was in fact a stink raised when the practice was uncovered, and the managers lied about what was happening, denying that anyone was working outside of regular hours. The insurance issue was very real.

Nobody thought it was a great paying job. My point was that they underpaid some good people, and lost a lot of talent out the door, some of it to competitors. It's a stupid way to run a business.

Sounds like you are projecting.

As a matter of fact, I attended a PUBLIC high school that had no hall monitors, no hall passes, oil paintings on the walls, large sculptures and nothing was defaced. I don't need a tight leash to behave, and I prefer working with people who don't need one, either.
