Work Up, Pay Down

Mike Schwartz,
Lens Grinder
"Look, I've only got five minutes for my break, and I'm not about to waste it talking to you."
John McDougal,
CEO
"I love the notion that workers are somehow supposed to be rewarded for increased productivity. Do you see any of those CEO's being rewarded for being more productive? No. They are being rewarded for absolutely no reason."
Marilyn Wittner,
IT Specialist
"So if I reduce my productivity 20%, it'll be like getting an automatic raise. Which will come in handy when I'm fired for taking 3-day weekends."
