Sure. Though that doesn't change the shittiness at all. It just represents the issue the loudest, and one that occurs in more places than just the U.S.: Abysmal working conditions and shitty bosses. Forgive me for pointing out something I think everyone already understands, though we are part of a global economy. To create effective change we should also act as a global force to promote those changes.
In a perfect world, at least. Sadly, problems on our own doorstep takes away a lot of energy to do just that.
I legitimately cannot imagine a scenario where you have time to clear this eye hole, but don't have another 30s to clear the rest of the windshield. It's pure laziness, regardless of how exploited your surplus labor might be.
Having been this person, I can assure you it's not laziness. Sometimes you really are that late, and 30 sec can be the difference between going through traffic lights or hitting a red light. It could be the difference between being in front of or behind a school bus on a one lane road.
