It's the Target's Fault!

So the boss has intently changed my wages 4 times since the beginning of this adventure. The first was a cap on hours. The second was required double initials on tickets cutting individual effort by 50%. The third and fourth were caused by adjusting the overall production quota midway thru the grading period. His reasoning.....the betterment of the whole followed by stating that if one is unable to hit a certain target, don't blame it on the target.

I consider myself an expert shot both in goal setting and on the pistol range. On the range we refer to an acronym known as BRASS. It means breath, relax, aim, squeeze and shoot. Funny thing, if I follow all required steps correctly when shooting, I always hit the target and I always score quite highly. Now if the target falls down or unexpectedly moves while I going thru the steps, it's the targets fault.

I would like to hang around for free. Financial obligations disagree with that nonsense.

Procrustes's Bed

I was talking to one of the staff today about my inner dissuasion to throw in the towel. It appears as if I'm sometimes sitting on the edge of Procrustes's Bed. Let me explain. The current system has become one of conformity for conformity's sake. The sub-culture has become the advantage rather than the disadvantage. Without sounding procacious, the current system is become the breeding ground for the lundane. My fellow staff member explained the advantage in the number of repetitions but failed to understand that only repetitions of correctly performing a task leads to an advantage.
