Back in the 90's my step-father worked in a factory, and he and his buddies always joked about a guy there that never did a single lick of work.

He took a VHS camcorder in one day, and recorded the guy flipping a piece of metal over on a table a couple times, then moving the piece of metal to a new table. Repeating this over and over throughout a 10/12 hour day.

And your dad had 10 hours to film him apparently

The camcorder stays still, and you need to press the button twice. Couldn't have taken the guy more than 5 mins.

5 minutes to press a button twice? I'll do it in 4.

I like that you only went for 4 minutes, giving yourself ample room to demonstrate continued improvement in the future

Under promise and over deliver!

Union button-pushers.

Your dad should mind his own business rather than worry about someone else’s pockets and/or the work they’re doing.
