I slept on the job all the time when i was a driver for my former employer.It's no big deal if one is tired they need rest or sleep otherewise it could be harzadous and health and safety rules allows it.
If you feel tired while driving take a nap for atleast 2 hours you still get paid. Multi million £ company's with considerate policies would rather their employees took a nap while at work than go on sick leave with stress.

If every British were like Branson and Bob Geldof slavery probably wouldn't have happened. Though capitalism have the inherent potential of turning a nice man like Branson to a greedy monster.

This is exactly what most Nigerian employers and even employees don't understand. Like you said, safety rules allows it.
In the airline industry, it is better you tell the truth if you are sick or tired than for you to go up in the sky and crash a plane or do something really dangerous that would lead to damage worth millions of dollars and also damage company image.

Absolutely! As i mentioned even my employer then warn me not to fail to take a nap if i am tired. As it would cost them more if an accident occured. My present employer (i am a train driver) allows me warns me the same imagine what would happen to more than 20,000 train passengers if i fall asleep while operating the train because they refused to let me have a nap. Not only it will be the companys fault but i would also claim compensation for stress due to pressure from work.

It’s one thing to be caught sleeping by your boss at work, one thing to be woken up by your boss and definitely another thing when your boss is Richard Branson.
Billionaire Founder of Virgin Group, Richard Branson went to Virgin Australia Headquarters at Sydney Airport to meet cabin crew and stumbled across a snoozing member of staff and Branson says the guy was so shocked when he woke him up that he went back to sleep again.
Branson joked:
‘This guy wasn’t up to much at all – I caught him sleeping on the job! Wow, did he get a shock when I woke him up. He must have thought he was dreaming because he went straight back to sleep.’
‘To be fair, he was on standby, getting some much needed rest.’
‘I love to get out there and meet the people that make our brand shine. Maybe it’s the glorious Southern Hemisphere sun or the salty sea air, it seems like our Aussie team members permanently wear infectious smiles.’

He would likely land a "sound slap" right across his face....... just to prove that he is the "Chairman"!
..and "small-small" Ogas too will follow join, .....to prove their "hypocrytic" loyalty!
grin grin

Very poor mentality for most of the money-miss-road bosses in Niaja. undecided undecided

I bet you, that guy that Richard Bransen caught, would be one of the most loyal staff in his organisation, going forth.
That is how to turn a "disadvantage".... into an "advantage".
