It isn't me that makes or enforces these rules. I work for a very German company- if only a few employees misbehave, sudden new rules are put in place and very strictly enforced. This is why we now no longer have Internet access in the FAB- because a few people were surfing porn sites instead of working. In order to get access I would have to go through several levels of management and get permission up the line. And this is why if I clock in at 7:01 I have to take four hours of emergency leave time and will be severely penalized (as in, no raise and possibly fired) if it happens more than ten times in a year, because a few low level employees were coming in five to ten minutes late on a regular basis.
Really, if I came in with a raging hangover and smelled of it I'm pretty sure that they would pull me aside and have me take a breathalyzer test. Honest. I shit thee not. They're that draconian. The woman who was recently fired lost her job for leaving early one night without clearing it in advance. Most places where I've worked would have chewed her out and told her not to do it again, but these guys just took her badge and marched her to the door. After all, ve must all follow orders, nein? (/bad Nazi impression)
God knows how long I'll last here, but as the pay is excellent I'm going to try to stick with it for as long as I can...
