Winger were a very talented late 80's and early 90's Glam Metal band from New York, named after lead singer Kip Winger. They made it big with their 1988 self-titled album, and "In the Heart of the Young" in 1990.
However 3 negative things happened that made them lose popularity in the 90's.
1. Grunge taking over the music industry.
2. Conflicts with the band Metallica and their immature attitudes towards Winger.
3. Criticism on the show "Beavis and Butthead". The geeky kid Stewart can be seen wearing Winger shirts, and thus the band was dubbed as uncool.

Rob: I used to like Metallica, but then I discoved Winger and they have some really unique stuff.
Dan: Yeah I have a couple of that bands albums. Screw Metallica. Winger is 100 times better.

In a "Widget Factory" workplace, metrics are everything and ideas are nothing. A "great employee" would be someone who produces the most widgets per hour. This mindset is closely tied to Taylorism; a production-oriented work philosophy from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Dave, your workplace isn't a widget factory--if you don't know how to charm your boss and get noticed, working your tail end off won't get you ahead.
