: Imagine! The nerve of a manager to get upset because his employees were hung over and couldn't do their jobs properly! GROW UP!!! If you show up in that situation at another job any decent manager is going to be just as upset you can't do that job well! Why do you think it's called WORK!? Sheesh!

Well, Jen seems to not have even read Sarah's posting at all or has just skimmed through it after taking a speed reading course of dubious value.Sarah typed in about the worker and managers being hungover and her main point was that there were contradictory orders from two superiors that left her boyfriend in a difficult position.

As far as I'm concerned Jen worships the God of Money and is perfectly at home in a sick, heirarchical environment where vague notions to justify a capitalistic system have to be parroted in order to climb the corporate ladder. This is why a workers' organization is a must and
when people even mention such a thing as union folks like Jen have to or are hired to goad others into feeling guilty or diverting them into peripheral subjects that harmless.She's just doing her job and folks like Sarah and I may disagree but at least we are going with our hearts (even if we may not make as much money as Jen).
