If you were paying wages out of your own pocket you would wanna be frugal.
Yeah yeah yeah.
And of course men NEVER cry off work with hangovers or man-flu. Or go on long term sick with bad backs or stress.
I was with a manufacturing company for 10 years, BY FAR the most reliable workers were women. And I say that as a man.
In which way were they RELIABLE, cannydc
They got to work on time, they worked hard, met targets consistently, rarely complained, didn't take 'duvet days' and I never saw one with a hangover on Monday morning.
Then there were the blokes. More than one regarded allowable sick days (5 days in any rolling 6 months period) as holiday. We had men who thought that they were union barons, agitating for strikes at every opportunity (not that there were any). If there was a rule to be bent to breaking point, men were at it constantly. Finally we had 2 dismissals for gross misconduct (one theft, one for vile conduct against a woman employee) - both were men.
