    Is the work getting done? If so, what does ten minutes matter? Is it about productivity, or just about ensuring that work is sufficiently unpleasant to keep the peasants in their place?

      What else is the overseer supposed to do to justify their position besides add stress and create reasons to not raise wages?

      Its probably just what everyone’s used to. I work in an ED. Fuck anyone who always turns up late. What does 10 minutes matter? It matters a lot actually. This is shift work. The work is never “done”.

      Can’t have these wagies too comfortable, the labour won’t be alienated enough.
