This has been the case forever. Look at religion, "you can't prove there isn't a god".

Only ethical meat is oligarchy burgers but they are so rarely in stock.

Hey! Corned beef hash is actually good!

I didn't know the number but I'm not surprised.

Mostly just spoiled and egotistical....

Not sure but looks like it...

Oh yeah... I once had a project to change a 0 to a 1 in a file on a machine used to manufacture devices. Basically operator had to align crosshairs over a certain point before starting. At 4 of the systems the operator could just touch the screen at the point and go. At one they had to push x+ or x- or y+ or y- repeatedly to line it up because the configuration had a 0 in the option "Click To Align"... It took 8 months to validate changing that to be 1

I wasn't exactly brave or stubborn, I was vindictive. Once my mother got mad at me and took away my computer. I in turn took the main power breaker from the house.

Another time she got mad at me and took my car keys... I set an alarm for 3am, went outside and took her car battery. Now I know what you're thinking "she has your keys, she'll just use your car", I also took my car battery. Both were carried about 1/4 mile into the woods that surrounded our home. Next day she tried to leave for work about the same time I had to start walking to the bus stop for school. Yeah... She was not happy but I got my car keys back!

Yeah, I used to be in the medical device industry. Once shipped, an update typically meant a patient needed additional surgery because of your mistake. That really emphasized the "unless absolutely necessary" part of your statement.

I had a great manager a few years ago. Basically it was a manufacturing job. At the beginning of the shift(or near it) he would come by you and say something like "I need 150 devices done tonight". Near the end of the shift he would come by and ask how many devices you got done.

As long as you got done the number he asked for he didn't care. Take an extra 10 minutes on lunch? Having stomach issues and used the bathroom for 30 minutes? Take a personal phone call? Had a chat with a co-worker about how they got engaged this weekend? All perfectly acceptable, as long as you got done with the 150 devices. If a machine broke or some material ran out so you couldn't complete it? Acceptable because it was outside of your control.

That said, if you didn't get the number he wanted done but everything at your station was fine I'll describe him with 3 attributes 1. Puerto Rican 2. Ex-marine 3. Drill Sargent!

Next few days he would be on you for every thing since you showed you couldn't be trusted to do what was expected. He would check periodically that you were at your station. He would check every hour or so to make sure you were on schedule to get the required work done that day instead of just checking at end of day. This of course added extra work for him which he didn't like. Do it too often and you had a not so nice "meeting".

But... Do what was expected (almost always reasonable) and he left you alone. You didn't have to watch a clock for exact minutes. It was assumed you were an adult and could accomplish what was asked without constant monitoring, until you proved you couldn't.
