Among other things our boss has us do: wash our hands after lunch.
He doesn’t care whether we wash our hands before lunch. He doesn’t want us to our meats and sauces on the equipment. Which is pristine and high tech and of course expensive.
We are expensive too, us employees. But he says no, “You’re just an expense. There’s a difference.”
He can only control so much of what we do, how we treat the machines. But he tries to monitor our activities with them. There are cameras in the office.

We don’t care. We do mostly what we want. But we do comply with washing our hands after lunch. But not because of the boss. But because we care about the machines.
