41. "a fair wage in exchange for work rendered"
Sat Nov 2, 2013, 11:10 AM
Nov 2013

I am wondering what you have seen at work.

Have you seen:

1. employees who think they should be able to go home early and still get paid for a full day

2. employees who spend large parts of their work day sitting on their duffs instead of actually working

3. employees who spend large parts of the day standing around talking instead of actually working

4. employees who spend large parts of the day playing on their computers instead of actually working

Because I see that every day, and it kind of infuriates me.
