I don't think any employer recognises nowadays that if your average bunch of employees can't get the work done in the time then it is POOR MANAGEMENT. More employees or accepting fewer jobs/commissions are the ways around that. What seems always to happen is that the good employees' willingness to turn in that extra 5% now and again for their employer becomes expected of them, and then they're expected to turn in
another 5%, and so on. it makes me sick, frankly (why else do you think I live on the edge ...? And even here it happens!)
