[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 131198, member: 67"] Re: A tad demoralising You make it sound like Lisa was hired to be a "neck-down stagehand." Neck-down, because they aren't hired for whatever they can do, whatever abilities they may have, above the shoulders. Simple manual labor. If that was the capacity she was hired for (and it kind of sounds like it), then yes, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus and any attempt at providing additional leadership was probably seen as unwelcome, counter productive, or job-threatening to someone on the company crew. I'm with the other reply that suggested that any firm that promotes the use of "energy drinks" as a means to the end is not a desirable firm to work for. Not allowing for rest periods is how stuff gets broken or forgotten, and fatigue is a major factor in bad decision-making that results in personal injuries. I take it in this case there was insufficient labor for the time allotted to complete the work or that the employer made a conscious decision to hire cheap & inexperienced labor who can be motivated by Red Bull.
