Production staff are lazy for not working on weekends, holidays, or even when they're sick. They are untrustworthy and are subjected to constant micromanagement. During slow periods, it is only fair to send them home without pay, despite their full-time status. They are also expected to accept the bare minimum wage with no additional benefits. Salary increases are out of the question since they should not get credited for any work done, tenure, nor complain or raise concerns on inflation as an excuse to get a raise.
To thrive in this company, one must be resourceful, take initiative, and proactively "sip2x" with upper management and the owner to gain favor, take credit, and earn more!
