That’s pretty much the difference there.
Time gives way to that bullshit - drag your ass with no fear of losing your job- attitude. Eventually people just get that mentality of “I’ve been here for years, they won’t get rid of me” and for some reason, they’re right. I worked in a factory in St. Thomas making Jeep Front ends, and GM Truck frames, and for some reason, the most incompetent fuck ups somehow were allowed to keep their jobs, even after starting shit with people who were actually getting some work done.
Real competitive companies shouldn’t protect these people, they should send them out the door on their asses.
