"That has been true of no company I have ever worked at or any I am familiar with"

What you are familiar with does not qualify the truth of the assertion. I can tell you that hundreds of thousands of employees work for beer and loose change. I know, because I have hired them at casual labor offices. That is the one side of the labour market which is hidden from you. You know only your own workplace, by and large. The other side hidden from you is a side that some of the RWE's here know very well. I can name you lawyers who have a bottle of scotch in their desk and are buzzed before noon. I can tell you another lawyer who spent half the day phoning his bookie and losing the daily profits.

Don't compare your "company" to the crew that just laid your new lawn and have a case in the back of the truck. It is a big world, Lazarus. The trouble is that a lot of people only see it from a narrow and confined perspective.

"While that may be true on your side of the pond, it certainly is not on this side."

Wrong. It is true everywhere: From the RC priest down to the moldy hamburger bun that you just paid three dollars for. The industries that run your world generally have from 1 to 5 employees. You clearly don't have a clue how they operate, but drunk or sober...they will get your friggin car towed out of the no parking zone--so look sharp...
