Q: What is the point of the pep talk given to employees before starting work
We see many businesses with their employees all lined up dutifully listening to their manager prior to starting work. Why is this, do people not know what their job involves, or are they so pre-conditioned that they can only start work after being given their orders for each day by the boss. Service certainly does not seem to improve anywhere so why do they do this?
I see this too. I think it's simply a power-play by the owners and managers. The thing that really gets me and makes me stop and watch is the public dancing by the restaurant staff before the joint opens. That would never fly back home.

I will not accept your slanderizing my name, Derek! Porky Pig is a swine, sir! Yes, a swine I say! And Bugs Bunny is a pasty faced, lanky, big eared, toothy cunt! That space modulator is mine! It's fucking mine!!!
My space modulator.

Ok, Derek, i'm sorry for my outburst, it's just this whole modulator thing's got me twisting in the wind. But I remember the night you're talking about. Back on Mars with Porky and Bugs. It was a big do for Wil E Coyote. Mars seemed the place to have it, 'cause, well, Martian girls, right? Yeh, you know it. And I don't mind telling you.......things got pretty wild. Pretty out of hand. Porky was smoking crystal meth and......he was flying...I mean really out there. Next thing I know bugs comes running in screaming something about killing a hooker. I think I blacked out after that, but the next day we were all hauled downtown. The cops turned Porky over pretty bad. Broke some of his teeth. And Bugs? He's gone man, outta here, I mean no-one's seen him. And the prints found next to the girl's body? All over the gun. Your gun. Cops have it right now. So i'm telling you man, you wanna take this up, you gotta take it up with Bugs. But if you want my advice, i'd best leave well alone. That motherfucker's crazy.
I don't understand it either but it's a riot, isn't it? My favourite is the hair salons, traditionally worked in by the hip, the cool and the trendy. But watching these guys with their Sonic the Hedgehog hairdos, repeating some robot-like mantra makes it very hard for me to keep a straight face as i'm passing.
The morning exercise thing's pretty funny too. I was in a class once and I could hear students chanting their morning sermon of conformity and one of my students started laughing. I asked what was funny and she explained that what they were saying was "Protect your eyes for the revolution!"
Maybe due for an updated version methinks.
Why blonde, who works as a lift operator in hotel, can not have a vacation?
Because after going back to work, she would forgot the route...
when i tell chinese that this exercise crap was copied from the japanese they dont believe me but i guess the inferiority complex is still alive and well. looks foolish in the snow and sweltering heat in august.
I agree with everything said re: power issues by management, and weird traditions leading back to the Japanese but on some level I still quite like it. It's actually healthy to do a short burst of activity in the morning (raises metabolism), and for anyone that sits around all day moving around more is a good thing. Depends on your perspective.
u know in this day and age u can still stand on the podium where herr hitler delivered the nuremburg address (I've done so). people like to exhort & be exhorted. something to with mentality,,,,, any psych professors around tonight ?
