What Cynthetiq said. You <b>are</b> being held to a higher standard...and justifiably so. You see, if <b>you</b> get to sit on <b>your</b> ass and fuck off, then you are just "The Boss's Lazy Assed Kid". It makes no difference that <b>they</b> fuck-off twice as much as you are. Fair? No, it isn't...but at least you have a light at the end of your tunnel. You will move ahead in the company, albeit obviously not as fast as you would like. Whereas, the rest of your factory "co-workers" are probably going to be there until they retire. They know this, trust me. So my advise to you is this...use this time to learn the down and dirty aspects of the business. Learn to talk their "language". One day you may find that experience usefull in dealing with these same people from a management perspective. Bear in mind that there is a reason that your dad told you "They have to do this job day in and day out every day, they aren't going to break their backs to do it." Your dad expects a certain amount of work from his employees. If they can get that done, and still "sit and chill" for a bit, then so be it. The worst thing that <b>you</b> can do is to go down to the shop floor and stir up a bunch of trouble. On the other hand...you are <b>always</b> going to have lazy assholes that will try to get over any chance that they can. Learn to deal with them now. Those types of people will be around for the rest of your life. Might as well learn to make peace with it. Besides...we <b>need</b> these people. How else would we know how great the rest of us are without them?
