Unchecked Tourist, both spot on.
My anti-AT bit was slightly TiC. The point though is that fun bit only seems to be available to those that don't have the work hard bit to do. The fun isn't spread evenly, unlike the sh1t which spreads over all those who remain behind.
Story:
We used to be awarded an AOCs stand-down. A complete stand-down with everybody having a complete day off at the same time.
Last time 1 Gp suggested we had the AOCs stand-down spread over several days so we would not lose a day's work. Pointed out that if 10% of the work force stood down on each day the remaining workers would have to do 110% of the work that day. End result no one got any realistic stand-down. Simplistic but we managed the proper day off added to a bank holiday. working time lost was only 4 hours rather than a full day but it led to a happier work force.
