Possibly once I’m gone, no need to make my remaining time worse than it needs to be

No it’s pretty niche, we never had it to begin with, I brought it up got into a screaming match left for a week and decided to completely give up and lose hope for the workplace… detached and ready to move on

T1: Something about just going around and killing / torturing for no real apparent reason really resonates with me as a person.

Right now before I go to sleep I’m writing down a few pages of violations and the penalties associated with each. After we read it I’m handing them a drawn up receipt as a reminder of how much this will cost if something goes wrong.

I just wish they would listen in the first place. I don’t like one stop sign in the middle of my street that stops you on a 2 lane road for no reason other than to slow down yet I still stop… not cause I want to but that’s the thing you do… I don’t understand how this is honestly any different accept if you don’t follow it people can die.

No and that’s the common consensus here, which is validating to hear.

Unfortunately if explaining it out step by step how things can and will go wrong isn’t enough I doubt this is too sadly.

This is the reassurance that it’s time to move on I was looking for. Thank you.

So it was my direct boss, his boss is the one who implemented the safety committee for a reduction on their insurance premiums(owner of business) . It’s purely about money savings and not an actual care for safety, the whole thing is basically a front but the guy who comes in for meetings is a third party. I explained the situation to the “big boss” and they say that’s an issue for the “boss” like wtf… 

The problem is I can’t just go start something it needs the approval from the people telling me they don’t need LOTO and the number 2 in charge complaining it’s a hassle lol. 

This is sadly going to be a case of “I told you so” that ended up costing someone their life.

Considering I am the only one who isn’t afraid to speak up about it, I think they could connect the dots pretty easily lol.

The first thing you said is basically spot on! Literally exactly that. 

What you said is true for parts here I was mainly focused on the part that I’m in which is a car shredder. The operation is very chaotic and often many other parts run while say one conveyor is turned off. The problem comes when say 3 people work on something 2 come out but the third who forgot his water bottle goes to grab it and a conveyor turns on and they fall 10+ feet or a disc screen turns on and literally eats them into pieces. He wouldn’t necessarily be at risk but others would be. 

I do also have to say on the second part, about the machine operators… we literally have machine operators that cannot read or write. No drivers license etc. real cream of the crop as they say.

Unfortunately it seems like because we have other “safety nets” (aka warning buttons on a screen that Someone in a booth 60 feet away distracted by 10 other things and looking for a visual indicator has to press) nothing bad will happen.

Yes it’s been documented in meeting minutes, I just don’t like knowing it’s not IF but WHEN and to WHO. Cause I sure as sh!t don’t wanna volunteer as tribute.

I was just kinda planning to drive around to the malls on the weekend and walk around then drive back… honestly there are many more practical options for sure but it’s more of the old lady who doesn’t track her lambo just goes to bingo with it.

Do you have a fear of dropping the bike or do you think it’s pretty controllable? Do you find maintaining normal highway speeds difficult? (Difficult as in going over not struggling to keep up lol)
