To anyone else, every mistake would be minor; forgetting to turn off the lights when he clocks out, leaving half-eaten lunches on work tables. Unfortunately for John, his supervisor was very good at keeping score. His boss often reminded his employees how much patience he has to carry in a day, and his arms get tired. On Friday afternoon, he caught John playing Jenga with a forklift and railroad ...
