Worker steals manager's chair after coworker is fired for sitting: 'I shipped their office chair away'

For some inexplicable reason, basic comforts are considered to stand in opposition to efficiency—if you're uncomfortable, you'll work harder being the deeply flawed logic at play. If there's a comfort that can be denied… you bet it will be, all in the name of bigger bonuses for the executives and higher returns for shareholders. There seems to be a societal impression that customers will think someone who is comfortable won't offer good service, which is a complete farce. One can't help but wonder if that is a cultural hangover from when it was more common for higher-class families to have actual servants.
