If I was in the front end of a thousand or so tons of moving train and
my morale was low because of what you said, I certainly wouldn't be
less diligent in my job because I'd be the first person to suffer the
consequences, if you know what I mean. There'd be nothing like
approaching the rear end of another train to make me think twice.
As for overwork, try meeting a contractual deadline for a signalling
project with the threat of liquidated damages hanging over you head.
