Chicken/Egg time: Are the safety cones to warn you about hitting the pillar, or the stairway that may come crashing down on your head?

Unlimited PTO of any kind results in people not actually using PTO because they are afraid to be judged by coworkers from what I've seen. Just combining vacation days and sick leave into "PTO" and then not counting dr/pt appointments against PTO is for the best I think, as long as that PTO pool is 3 or 4 weeks at minimum. If someone is going to be out so long they use up all their PTO, then they should be either working from home, on short term disability, or have another special arrangement worked out.

Or don't track time off and judge employees on how much they get done.

They typically aren't using sick days. They hold onto those to use as vacation.
What happens is that everyone else has to work harder to cover their load. Customers get poorer service. Then you have to add staff to the schedule and assume that someone is "sick" all the time even though they aren't.

It would be fine if those sort of people called the night before saying that they might not make it in giving time to find someone else to cover but they never do. They call about 10 minutes after their shift started to say that they're sick. They know who they are and they know what they did.

Yes, managers have to audit sick days. It's fine if you have health problems. That we can work with. No big deal. When you're a healthy young adult that never shows up for your Saturday shift, that's a problem.

Lmfao you're a huge loving idiot stop posting.

Reminds me of the description of the White House pre-renovation - "it remained standing mostly out of habit".

Turns out the UK government knew from wargame exercises three years ago we didn't have ventilators or PPE in sufficient numbers for a flu-like pandemic. They knew three months ago one was coming. They didn't do anything, at all, to stock up.

So now our hospitals have staff working with pandemic patients without PPE. That's quite the OSHA.

Where can I read more about this?

The new super audiophile open air TRS connectors provide extra fidelity. Just make sure to use only oxygen free copper wire!

Monster headhone cable, to guitar/DJ size headphone adapter, to coat hanger lmao

there's essentially zero current going thru a headphone cable so thats just a clever rig, not like when a traveller tries to use a contraption of forks and string to make a UK AC adapter

It's not like there are readily available adapters out there that do the same thing for under $5

20 Blunts: Jan 21, 2017

Ugh, came face-to-face with some indirect OSHA the other week, probably more common than accidents at this point: longtime coworker and friend passed away from opioid overdose. Take care of your people if you're on a crew, goons. He apparently had relapsed, was hiding it well but took it too far. Substance abuse and alcohol is way too common among independent working guys. I know my username is indeed 20 Blunts.

Next OSHA item: now I have to decide when to stop (tree) work due to the virus. I guess when it starts to become clear nobody will be able to pay for it? Even the crew members barely have to come into contact with one another, especially when one guy is 50ft in the air in a bucket. Right now I've got two dudes doing a municipal gig in the middle of the woods.

I went out and pruned a little old ladies mulberry for like a third of my usual rate just to think about something else than the end of the world. She tried to bring a check out to me when I was done and I told her to mail it as I waved from the street, lol.
