Monday after the big game.

It is Monday morning and 8 am has just passed. I have been sitting here watching people filter in and I really do not think the morning will be good for anything. I cannot imagine the quality of cars running through a production line will be good this morning either. If you knew you were going to have a party and not really be able to work this morning let see take the damn morning off you have vacation time use it! it is better to be upfront about things than try and do work at 20% of your normal slow rate.

But this is not just because there was a big game. This happens more often than not. so I guess it is something we all need to get used to. but there are a few caveats that we have been able to devise to catch everyone off guard. Like if a paid holiday comes around to make a 3 day weekend. you better be ready to work and work hard on both work days before and after the long weekend. we do this not for spite but to let you know that we need to make up the time that you were off. if you look at the countries that are growing they do this to a much more cruel extent. We are not cruel we just want to make sure that we get what we need. Sometimes, just sometimes we do actually schedule special training or meetings on these days just to see who will be ready to work and how to fill out the performance reviews so be ready. if we are in the meeting even if we are only popping in for a few minutes before taking off early rest assured we are keeping track of the people who are not performing.
