Oh yes. You dared to eat something in your meal break didn't you!!!! Oh, 
and you "FAILED" to buy a wristband too. You're /so/ not a team player 
;-) .  You didn't lose your job because of either aforementioned.  You 
lost your job because
a) You know SO more than your ejit supervisors / bosses.
b) You are too hard a challenge to brainwash.
Managers these days want lemmings, so they can feel good about 
themselves and not have to go home and beat up the wife.
One day all companies will be run this way, and we'll all die from a 
disease caught from a dirty telephone or keypad!
