  • well who would've thought…

    • You’d be surprised.

      I work as a manager for contract security. Since I’ve joined this company, my accounts have the highest profit across the country.

      My accounts have the highest CoL adjusted pay for a given level of security guard.

      I keep a veritable dissertation breaking down costs and performance and shit, it’s probably 200 pages long.

      Every. Damn. Quarter. I have to send that thing out to some pencil pushing bean counter over at corpo hq - along with the stupid little awards I get for being corpo overlord’s favorite guy.

      Because “you’re paying too much in wages and benefits, you should cut back or something.”

      Apparently, treating people right is some how… like… novel. It’s hilarious when you show these capitalist bastards that being nice is in fact profitable… how much easier union negotiations are.

      (I mean, we’ve practically weaponized the union against other companies. It’s hilarious. The union knows. The local rep was the one that noticed that. Yes, we’d both be shot if it was found out we were catching lunch together.)

      And don’t even get me started about that consultants brilliant solution to cutting costs. (One of the line items was to take bullet proof vests away from armed guards. Fuckers,)(okay so my exec may have flown me out to HQ to explain in candid detail why he was a moron. He wanted “eloquent”. Heh.)
