i've been working before in a company where standards/rules and regulations are strictly implemented in such they wanted you to be perfect, which is impossible so i resigned to my previous job which i don't think will not contribute to my growth. we are only humans and make mistakes too. is it right to hold your salary when you did not do something right, is it right to punish you by working more hours without payment, that was hell.

Interesting, personally I do not believe in holding pay for mistakes done, though it seems there are exceptions. If that was the pre-deal, then it seems there is no choice. Otherwise, the Department of Labor would have a very memo to send to "that company." I mean it is illegal not to pay workers. (to a large extent at least) It seems excellence companies are encouraging "glorified mistakes?" It seems an example is the BP oil spill in Gulf of Mexico. For instance, now that we see the mess, the technical decision may have moved against setting up a production well because of the risks. This risk assessment (in it "finest form") was presented t the business dev (experts?) for assessment. The decision? One or perhaps two big shots in BP decided "Okay we will go ahead, the risks as enormous but the profits projections are enormous too." I think these mistakes are made by people who will never really feel what they did wrong! The system is wrong, now that we can see it clearly... some can even taste it - ever tasted fres oyster's with a dash of tar :) Back to you nice topic, I think there are mistakes where people can get away with it only because the mistakes were a result of the quest for huge benefit. I think. Cheers
