Here's the thing, I go to work, I do my think, I milk EK of EVERYTHING I can. I'll keep at it until either it goes pop or I decide one of my buckets are full. Getting upset at the asinine and archaic mentality here is a complete waste of time. When the roster gets too much the number 2 is pressed and at the subsequent "attendance" meeting I'm told it's a box ticking exercise on their part, so for me it's the same.
The job is an ATM machine, nothing more...I couldn't give 2 sh1ts what a Delta or BA or Qantas person earns, if you don't like it leave, it's really rather simple, getting angry about it merely makes you look like a fool for even contemplating that you are viewed in any better light the the wobbly headed construction worker.
