I don’t disagree but none of that actually refutes the line of thinking of the manager.

Manager: Make 100 cookies for today.

Employees: well we know we get to take the extra, so we’ll make 102. No one will notice a little extra made, and we never sell exactly 100, so it won’t be unusual for a few leftover. And we’ll get to take them.

Like I said originally, I get it but I don’t agree with it.

I actually can understand that manager’s line is thinking, but it highlights a fundamental mistrust of the employees and is still dumb.
