Strikers

One might say they fight for their rights, but is that what really happens? The answer is obviously “NO”; the only thing they seek is not working. Today a European Summit was held here in my town, and as the summit was on working and working legislation, there was protest held on by the syndicates. Twenty thousand people protesting and I, as the dreamer I am, dreamt of those twenty thousand people working, producing, doing something useful and actually doing something instead of walking with flags and chanting. Besides, they were even occupying the main streets, blocking the way for those who really wanted to work.
But hey, not everything is bad, if you take a better look, you notice that by them missing work, their colleagues have to do something their not used to do, and that is working the full time. Confused? I’ll help you, take a look at a normal worker; he has to present himself at work at time, and for that means getting 20 minutes later, then after a while he has to make his morning stop for coffee or otherwise he cannot focus on his work, a few moments later he talks to someone on the phone and takes the chance to ask how his wife and kids and dogs are doing, after that he calls his wife to ask what’s for lunch. And this is only in the morning. When the company has only half of its staff this worker has to work the double, this means working the full time. Hopefully, he will get used to actually work and teach that to his striker colleague.
Who would tell that strikers could improve their companies’ productivity by striking? I bet you weren’t expecting that were you? And you would think that there was not anything good in striking except for missing work. Now you do have a good reason for striking, in fact, I’m thinking of striking tomorrow just to improve my company’s productivity!
And for that, today’s message is... Strike for productivity!
