    Here is a thought? Why not get rid of all the holidays and all religious holidays. And force your employees to work 16 hours a day instead of the just the normal 13 hours. Then you can cut their pay by half! Also why allow them to have fun? Rather put it into contract that if your employee smiles they will be fired and will be taken to court for disrupting the work force. Also limited there lunch break to only 7 seconds’ and 30 second toilet breaks between every 10 hours of work. That will optimise profit! Also you have the joy to watch your employees committing family suicides. Now that sounds like real fun now doesn’t it! And you as the boss can take bets on who will crack first! Fun all around!!!!

    You really need to find another job, mate. That's simply not normal

    Shame on you! That is not the answer I expected... I thought there will be an all new meaning of the word sweatshop... with the air-conditioner turned on high just to get that extra musky sweaty smell that most bosses love. Also fear filled faces with gloom hanging over your employee’s heads as they work harder and harder and you get to pay them in actual peanuts...

    Yes and don’t forget that they have to skip lunch because they blinked more then what is allowed on contract! Also remember a good lashing every now and again will keep the motivation high thus getting maximum performance.

    Oh! Yes darn it! I forgot that we live in a free world! Or do we? Have a look around the public holidays had no effect on most if not all the businesses because every single one I past on my way to deliver Pizza was open. ....

    I've told you before - not every business owner is a bastard. Not every manager is a slave driver.

    Just as not every employee is worth what they earn. Some are worth more and some are worth less. And some just cost you money.

    There now - I got mean in the end. Happy now?

    Now... now no need for that... Was just illustrating a point... I know there are good on both sides just as there is bad on both sides of every story. It is just... I was pointing out that sometimes a breather is a good thing despite some profit loss...
