you appear to be looking for common sense where it clearly doesn't exist.
The main problem is that there has always been the attitude that you are doing something wrong if your staff are happy....
Having a drink when paxing...god forbid....laughing when in QCC1 and note how many managers look at you as if you are some sort of criminal...make sure your pin kangaroo is at the right angle.....clause 11 if not.....
twiggs..I noticed you didn't answer my last question so I'll rephrase it...is it a problem that they got busted or is it a problem because they had a drink when paxing...(apart from the fact of acting like a goose and telling your crew not to...)
The office has always had a history of picking people for the job who are as well liked as a sore thumb and who have had a complete charisma bypass.
