Who thought that “service provider” was good phraseology?

at least one of them didn't 'appreciate law enforcement's service.'

As someone who works for this company I'm not surprised at all by this phrasing. Management will spend 30 minutes trying to talk you out of reporting an injury before calling a first aid responder. At the same time they will bitch at you for potentially making a plane go out late due to said injury.

Serephina posted:Booop, deleted. I wonder what they'll rephrase it to?  A "valuable member of the team". Still empty corporate phrasing, but I guess looks slightly better. The shittiest thing to me in the original tweet was the line "we appreciate law enforcement's service"  I get that these are all just stock lines that some unpaid PR intern puts together. But for fucks sake, pay some attention to what's going on.

My favorite UPS memory was one time when I was running the tower controlling the belts to the primary and secondary sorts I noticed a jam on one of the belts. My leg was broken from falling off of a ladder a few days before so I couldn't climb down and break the jam but luckily an IE (tech support) guy was there with me and he jumped onto the moving belt to break the jam with his foot. As the jam broke his foot got stuck in the boxes and pulled off his prosthetic leg. I stopped the belt to let him recover his leg and hop back to the ladder- at this time I caught poo poo from my boss for stopping the belt for too long.

He figures it makes him stand out so people can find him in a crowd when they need stuff, it's easy for him to spot if he puts it down among other peoples stuff, and nobody will ever steal it because most guys are insecure af about their masculinity. I don't get to wear a pink helmet at work but I do get to ride on my grey with pink cycling kit and I'm most likely pulling the pin on a pink bicycle in a few days.

I'll have to tell that one to my coworkers that came over from UPS. One story that happened locally that they've all confirmed as having happening and is all so OSHA as poo poo- A loader walks up to a manager looking like he fell in a mud puddle, says he's leaving early and for the manager to go look at the truck he was loading. Turns out the driver was making GBS threads in Ziploc bags and had left a weeks worth in the cab, the manager grabbed some trash bags to cover the seat and the steering wheel and drives the truck as far out in the yard as possible. When the driver shows up the manager basically grounds him until the truck is clean enough to eat off the dashboard, which is where half of the poo poo bags had been left to ferment. The manager in this story is my cousin who quit a week after this happened.

Tony Snark posted:I'll have to tell that one to my coworkers that came over from UPS. Reminds me of working as a building manager for the dorms when uni was out of session for the summer. We rented the rooms out to sports camps, music camps, training workshops, and often kept a few for the maintenance contractors who did work when students were away. Most of the accommodations were standard dorm rooms, so much like a hostel, the sinks and toilets were communal. One day, the head of custodial corners me in the hall to tell me I was lucky I was out the day before. "Why?" "Your roommate didn't fill you in?" (My roommate and I were both managers for the same team.) "...no. I've been sick. She was probably trying to be nice. What the gently caress happened?" "Those maintenance guys on 2nd finally left. You won't believe what we found in one of the wardrobe drawers." "Drugs." "Nope." "Dead animals." "Close. Mason jar. Full of poop." "...people poop?" "People poop." I wish  existed back then, because I would have added it to my work email signature.
