Monday night

 Well.  It was an interesting day.  

Friday I literally begged my boss to please review the surveillance video if she had questions about productivity, to see who is really working.  She said no.  

Today one of her henchmen was taking various associates to the woodshed with verbal warnings.  The dead weight.  So apparently she did listen after all, they got their eyes opened.  

Chief snitch, for instance, takes 2, half hour, breaks in addition to the hour unpaid lunch.  Then stands around talking with other non productive employees talking for hours every night.  I heard the henchman telling her "We expected better from you, you have to set an example, etc." and the usual excuses from the associate.  

I found that very telling.  And if they watched me on the video guaranteed I was working my ass off just like they want.  So I feel good about that.  Much better than I did this morning.  

It is unfair to ask a few team members to carry the weight of the whole crew; or, as Ron used to say "You need both horses pulling the wagon".  

I never named names, because I'm not a snitch, but I have told everyone there are cameras everywhere and you have to understand they are watching us work.  

Then, on the way home, Buddy told me he is not signing up for the route again.  He went to another route that's very popular.  "When I lose a driver to that route" I told him "They don't come back".  

Then he asked me if I was still interested in going out for pupusas.  I didn't put it together until I was halfway home.  

Maybe there is a rule about dating passengers.  I 100% believe he was completely burned out on the route, though.
