Wellman Blues
If you were a part of that crew, would you have quit when Faber came or stuck it out for a while to see if he would leave? He was a bad manager anyway, maybe he would just be fired..
shareI've had to stick it out in similar jobs to Wellman so Wellman would be nothing terribly new. I am trying to figure how many on that crew had serious financial repercussions from quitting w/o having an alternative lined up.
shareYeah I was wondering the same thing, Biff, I remember there was a follow up episode, everyone was doing well that quit Wellman, except Roseanne!!! I thought at the time that the most irrational "quit" was Crystal, she was a widow, the sole support of her son.. The other women had spouses except for Jackie, and Sylvia was an older woman who looked like she was retirement age anyway. It wasn't smart of Roseanne to throw away her pension and benefits like she said, she had been there 11 years without a backup plan..
shareIt was reckless and like some jobs you may get a boss you don't care for but you stick too It instead of seeing it as a negative.

Uh huh....all those Japanese employees literally being worked to death because they have to put in 160 extra hours a month to make overtime, they shouldn't have seen that as a negative and gotten out while they were still alive? Roseanne told Faber they couldn't meet the quota, not possible doesn't magically become possible just because you'll get fired if you can't do it.
I know everybody is worried about keeping a job, keeping a paycheck, but let's get down to brass tacks, if you had to choose between your job and your life, or your job and your health, your job or your well being, are you REALLY going to pick your job? And for what? My family's seen a lot of good friends pick their job, guess what? Your job doesn't count for anything when it kills you. share
