Reply #26: my knuckles would say different

After I spent a year working hard as a temp and not being hired I decided to fight back. Because I was working in a machine-plant, the lines produce $100 of product every minute. I figured that the company was saving maybe $60 a day by paying me less and not giving me bennies. So I determined to alloy the machines to be idle an extra minute every day, simply by not "noticing" things. Instead of being pro-active about problems, I reacted slowly. My finest moment was when the million dollar line was down for an hour with a problem that I could have fixed, but I refused to. I finally fixed it after an hour just to prove, even to myself, that I could. I figure that $12,000 in lost production could have paid for alot of benefits. Put that in you pipe and smoke it Phillip-Morris.
Also, for whatever it is worth, I was part of the AFL-CIO's e-activist network for the last four or five years until I quit in a fit of despair after this last election. When it is me against the corporate world, I might as well be punching a brick wall, or banging my head against it.
