If they were to treat their machines like they want to treat their

It's just as ridiculous when it's applied to humans, but more
disgusting. Disposable employees.

We must be reading different threads. The one I am reading started with
an employer explaining (and lamenting) having to let someone go who had
habitual attendance problems, but who was otherwise quite promising.
What thread are _you_ reading?

The portion of the same thread that referenced a particular employer
that had a policy where if you were late for work regardless of the
excuse, you were fired.

"well after a few weeks I had car trouble and came in about 45 minutes
late ,
got called into H.R and was told in no uncertain terms that you only get
to
come in late once

that the second occasion , regardless the reason you would be fired
......
now I knew why all the other guys arrived one half to three quarters of
an
hour early every day"
