    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”.

          Emergency Department. Its a Level One Trauma center, so down time is not predictable.

            Why not just say emergency room rather than an acronym nobody in the general population uses? There was a whole tv show about this for like 25 years.

              Well no reason other than that’s what it’s called here. Most people where I live would know what I’m talking about. I can’t be responsible for all people who don’t understand me. Im going to use the language that is commonly used where I live aren’t I? It’s not a room it’s a department.

              Well where I’m from its just what it’s called. Most people would know what it is. I’m actually English and we call it A&E for Accident and Emergency, or Casualty. That’s what I would have called it if I still lived there because that’s what everyone there is used to. What you’re basically asking for is for me to translate for you. Well, like I said, I’m English and live in the states. You think everyone thinks to translate American english for me? Use google. Its pretty clear I’m don’t work in an erectile disfunction - unless that’s a euphemism for America.

                It definitely could be a euphemism for America. Have you seen Florida?

                But uh… the big flaw in your story here is that “emergency department” is immediately understandable, ED isn’t. It’s also eating disorder. Recently in the news it’s been education department since DoE is taken and acronyms are ineffective. It’s also engineering design, encyclopedia dramatica, emotional disorder and I’m sure many more that I don’t know.

      work is sufficiently unpleasant

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