You can't imagine how much resistance one gets on attempting to implement any measures to fight this at work.I remember suggesting having security cameras in every room that are internet streamed and recorded. There was almost a riot. If security cameras are everywhere people won't be able to "pretend to work".

Don't trust human beings to be so nice themselves. You have to scare them. If those workers who cut off the branches knew they might get fired if they did so they would have been more careful. If that idiot in Tahboob kitchens knew he might get fired for lying to you or being so irresponsible he would have been more careful and organized. It’s the lack of punishment.
