And Yet, He Continued to Work There

First, the link:
Man Chomps Off His Finger Over Unpaid Wages


So, let me try and understand this; you work for said company and on a regular Friday afternoon you get wind that the companies bank account resembles that of Enron's, and rumor has it, you aren't going to get paid. Alas, you're a hard worker, and so, you decide to stick it out for a few more weeks hoping that the execs will shift around some funds and come thru for you. But, unfortunately that doesn't pan out so well either. In the end, the normal worksman would look for other means of making a living. That is unless you are this guy, cause if your name is Zoran Bulatovic (side note, who the 'F' bestows the name Zoran upon their child anyways??) Anyways, if you'r name is Zoran, you stick it out for years "only collecting social benefits such as free medical care." And at some point in time Zoran gets fed up (no pun intended) and decides to use a hacksaw to cut off most of his little finger and threatens to eat it if they don't begin to give him all of his back wages. In the end you are a) missing a finger; b)successfully made yourself look like a fool by committing such an act of protest, and c) to top it all off, you're now you're a less desired employee because you are a missing said digit on your left hand. Pure genius I tell you. Perhaps next time Zoran should post his resume on Monster.com and quit shortly after they inform him that they can no longer pay him. Just a thought....?

Love your life, and all 10 of your fingers, (but not enough to eat them.)
