Rather than whine about it, perhaps you should examine why you got voted down. There's only one comment of yours in the thread that's rated less than 0, besides this unsubstantial one. I'd wager you were voted down for proposing that employees could be let go "[e]ven if it doesn't directly affect productivity", and then you subsequently abandoned it when you defended cigarettes and alcohol by taking purporting to take their effects into account. If you're going to propose something like that, at least stick to it, and especially don't whine about it when people don't like that you've created an inconsistent system.
