How to Win Enemies and Influence People

[Freeky]

I guess that guy really showed you, huh, Roger? Sorry you had to deal with the travel bullshit. That many OSHA violations in one place gives me the willies.

Tangentally related story of how much employers give a fuck about safety in general:

About five years ago I was working at a supermarket. Somebody called in a bomb threat (which is, of course, a jake 99% of the time, but that 1% is a bitch). They didn't tell us what was going on, they just got all the workers and customers to go stand outside and wait. Then they got the ONE BLACK EMPLOYEE, who worked as a meat cutter, to go in and walk around the store and "see if he saw anything unusual". Then a cop came and talked with the manager and everybody went back in.

THAT is not proper bomb threat protocol.

P.S.
Yes I DO know proper bomb threat protocol, including the RIGHT way to clear a building. 
You tell them it's a fire drill until they get outside.  Stampedes cause injuries.
You make sure the building's empty by doing a walkthrough.
Then don't touch a damn thing, ESPECIALLY light switches or devices, as a change in the power state of any given device or light switch may be a triggering mechanism..
You then wait for the bomb squad, because they know what they are doing and they probably get paid more than you.

P.P.S I'm really glad Rev Roger does his job.

WRONG

Jack Bauer shows up, shoots some rounds into the air and yells "everybody get out!", and tackles the nearest minority, ties them up, waterboards them, and runs off, gets the bomb, puts it in a pick up truck and runs it off a bridge right before it blows up.

I think I saw that one.  Totally legit way to do bomb threat protocol.

ThAts cool, how did you read it?

I read it as very drily tongue-in-cheek about how people in Bangladesh are fucked, and if we have the power to give a shit, we should do it.

also there was a factory that basically collapsed due to pretty much no safety regs in Bangladesh recently. the body count was around 700 and they made clothing for places like The Gap, Primark (big cut price clothing store in Europe and the UK) and H&M and such. basically crushed to death by an unsafe building.

This is why most of my clothing is from charity shops and I'd rather spend more money less often on clothes than buy cheap shit that kills people.

Yes, I assumed that it went without saying that was a key part of the reference, as it's been inescapably all over the news, Facebook, and every other forum.

Think the body count's up to 1000 now.
Here's hoping it does the same thing there that the Triangle Shirtwaist fire did here for worker safety. (And what "the Jungle" did for food safety for that matter. )

Bangladeshis have it very hard on the whole.
When your life's a fight for mere survival, you have very little room to try to make the world a better place. 

...And for some reason, I just mentally heard "We are the world, we are the children," in my head.
Ugh.
I think I shall barf now.

Oh wow. 

You better be careful with that, Roger, because they might promote you and start sending you places. What if they made you something like "regional safety manager" or some shit? You'd never get to stay home.

PROPHECY

HAHAHHAHAHA this thread!

Why can't I listen when obvious PROPHECY is spoken?
