Here's my resignation.

Either it's your fault, it's going to be your fault, or you're cleaning this up. Bottom line: there's a damn-near lethal amount of incompetence in the building and it's time to part ways.

This was genuinely the comment I was waiting for.

I love you.

I love you too, if only for this short moment where our gazes align. Soon we will drift apart, and you will forget me. I can only hope I’ve had an impact on you. Goodbye.

Damn thing broke

Get better racking.

I fucking quit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Were there any witnesses?

If not: blame the shelves "the thing just buckled when I put the pallet there"

Else: cop to it, I guess? Can't trust nobody in warehouse.

I'd guess someone reversed a forklift into one of the vertical shelf beams. These beams will carry a good amount of weight when that's only applied vertically.
But if you bend the beams with a forklift, or push them from the side (like when a neighboring shelf falls over), then they will fold under the weight pretty quickly.

Oh I know, I was just stating the three words I'd say to my boss. If I ask what happened, then I probably just arrived to see the mess at the same time they did, right? 😁

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah, that makes sense. 🙃

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

@Stamets it tanked, boss!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Did you see the mess that overnight left?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

They're getting away!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Looks like all pallets of drinks. Those are gonna be heavy and probably max out the weight rating. So my response would be:

“Been overloaded for years” 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

4 words. You have to clean it all up now, by hand.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Followed by 2 more words: “I quit”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sue the engineer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Bitch, what mess?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

"Pfff. Mondays, huh?"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago
  • Hey, shit happens
  • Could be worse
  • Whoops, wrong gear
  • Tesla Cyberforklifts, amirite?
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm outta here

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Time to drink

Are you forkin' kidding me?

I don’t know

"humans make mistakes"

so many goddamn iNvEsTiGaTiOnS I have to write for work boil down to this

if you're too cheap to engineer out the possibility of human error, don't come crying to me, a human, about it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Aren't those done to figure out how things happened so they could minimize the risk of it happening again? Someone made a mistake but what led to the mistake and what could be changed so that either this doesn't happen or when it does, it's not as bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's what workplace investigations are supposed to be, yes. My workplace unfortunately seems more preoccupied with assigning blame to operators and writing increasingly complex rule changes that wouldn't be necessary if they spent, let me see, literally more than $0 on upgrading our tech...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Very shortsighted of the company to do that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yup. Just like every other place I've ever worked. Can't see past quarterly profit increases until everything inevitably crashes and burns

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Where I live at least some of the bigger construction companies do talk about safety a lot and can be fairly strict about it. It's good PR and saves money by having your workers healthy and working and there doesn't need to be work stoppages due to accidents.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I miss when not every company was just "qUaRteRlY iNcReAsEs OvEr aLL eLsE" and it wasn't rare for a business to care about safety, quality, the law, etc.

the company I work at has vestiges of safety programs but repeatedly denies my requests for very simple safety controls from not blocking the fire alarm and exits with inventory, to an oxygen monitor in a room full of compressed gas tanks (some of which are hydrogen. fun!)

yeah i gotta get the fuck outta here.
