Productivity at Strickland grinds to a virtual halt. It's called GWS, Good Worker Syndrome. I get sick to my stomach unless everyone around me is givin' 110 percent. The symptoms include pride, responsibility, and a feverish enthusiasm. It used to be a common condition among Americans.
Hank ultimately solves the problem in the most un-PC way.
He quits, thereby putting Strickland below the minimum number of employees necessary for a business to be subject to the obnoxious ADA regulations. Strickland's owner, thus liberated, fires Leon the louse and then hires back Hank. It hits at liberal icons with an unfettered joy.
