Dude's a regular poster child of what a union time-puncher looks and acts like.
What's a "turn man"? My guess is a guy who moves trucks about in the yard while the road drivers do other stuff, but I don't really know.
I've gone through 5 layoffs at 5 different companies. Two were because the companies failed to understand and offer what their customers wanted. Two were due to serious economic downturns. One was because the company was marginal and poorly managed. Three came with general non-specific warnings ahead of the layoff and then layoff day was pack your stuff day (but not with a security guard standing, watching me). Two were a month or two of notice, to let me find a job internally or elsewhere. I could have been an equine anus like TEB in those final months at those two companies, but what would that have accomplished?
I suspect TEB is a PITA to more people than just his supervisor and manager. Assaholic Attitude is hard to confine to one or two targets.
