I worked for several years as a baggage handler for Northwest Airlines. They had a deal where if you had perfect attendance for, I believe it was 5 years, they would give you an all-expenses, week-long, vacation to Hawaii. This one dude on my unit (a unit at that time was 3 gates that a team of 8-10 were responsible for all flights there) was one day away from perfect attendance.
The caveat was you had to have no disciplinary action taken against you. All he had to do was finish the day and he had his free vacation. He had no disciplinary history, so the entire day a manager shadowed our unit and shadowed the flights he was working on. They took this manager off his concourse and off his duties to find a way to prevent the company from having to pay for his vacation. Until the very end of the day we go outside to a designated smoking area on the ramp (ramp = tarmac) and the manager comes speeding up and gives him a Level (“level” = disciplinary action) for not wearing a vest outside.
There's like 6 of us without vests on. The only one who got the level was my coworker about to get a free vacation for perfect attendance. It was a 2 minute write-up process, then the manager left.
