reminds me of one of the big bosses down the Mount here - he walked down to a work area and saw two workers sitting down having a cuppa so he walked up to them and sacked them on the spot. they happily walked out. He went back to his office and later in the afternoon wanted to know why the telephones had not been fixed as he had been told by the telcos the workers would be there that morning. The office girl after inquiring of the telcos what was happening was politely informed that Mr boss man had sacked them that morning when they were having their regulation smoko time. I heard it took quite a bit of grovelling to get them back. That story got right round the town and still dragged out every now and then, never to be forgotten. Hehehe
