At Wally World we had a worker throw a hissy fit last week and walk out in the middle of his shift because management wanted him to work. This morning another worker decided to wander around the store instead of doing what he was told. The night before, the big boss had to tell another worker to stop standing around and get to work. These people would not have lasted a week at the Hemroid Harry School of Management, Maintenance and Medicine.
Hemroid Harry was the floor boss and lead mechanic at the bottled water company I worked for in the 80s and 90s. Among the phrases he was known for was “You owe me 15 minutes, chief.” which every tardy employee heard no matter where he was on the property. If you were standing around it was “What the F@#$ is the problem, chief?” If you didn’t have a good answer for that question it was “Hit the road, chief.” Hemroid Harry wasted no time with slackers.
