the most disturbing one of these they do imo is where they set your target quota way too high on purpose, then when you fail to meet it call you in with the pretense of firing you and get you to beg and plead with them not to fire you so you think they did you a favor and you owe them

Concerned about bone-crunching collisions and the lack of clearly marked pedestrian lanes at the Fremont, California, plant, the general assembly line’s then-lead safety professional went to her boss, who she said told her, “Elon does not like the color yellow.”

And in addition to yellow, Musk was said to dislike too many signs in the factory and the warning beeps forklifts make when backing up, former team members said. His preferences, they said, were well known and led to cutting back on those standard safety signals.

“If someone said, ‘Elon doesn’t like something,’ you were concerned because you could lose your job,” said Susan Rigmaiden, former environmental compliance manager.

quote:

Woody, head of the safety team, told her “that Elon didn’t want signs, anything yellow (like caution tape) or to wear safety shoes in the plant” and acknowledged it “was a mess,”

they do, but once the initial inspection passes you can go in and rip out all kinds of things and not get "busted" until the next inspection, and then they just go "oh you're missing all the exit signs, you have [3 years] to fix that before we assign you a $100 fine!"

yes and tesla has been violating them repeatedly and is appealing all court decisions that they lose

this is why unions will always be more powerful than safety laws, a general strike will hurt their bottom line much more than some little fines

OSHA is largely a reactive organization. Inspections happen but even then they get an opportunity to remediate with pretty much zero consequence and it takes a pattern of repeated violations for anything substantial to happen. In reality, it takes several people getting maimed or killed under similar circumstances for something to change and that's assuming the victim or their families don't get paid off. Union shops are usually better about this because they have just-cause dismissal and its harder to go after someone blowing the safety whistle. The overall threshold for safety risk is lower because, Surprise Surprise, someone is advocating for the workers instead of just the owners. That dynamic becomes worse when the company is run by a lunatic instead of managers from the industry with experience who exhibit some amount of restraint and common sense.
