We have a thing at work where any project has to be scored based on the time it will save the workforce, which is then multiplied by how much they are paid for that time, as an estimate of how much the project is worth. Except that if the DAILY time saving is fifteen minutes or less, it will never get the green light, even if it would save literally everyone in the organisation that time every day, because the assumption is that if you give someone fifteen minutes of time, they won’t use it to work, they’ll just have a coffee. It’s really dumb.

Forklifts can be very dangerous if not operated properly. I had to drive one for my previous job and it is extremely easy to break things if you aren't paying close attention. The worst I did personally is gently caress up wooden or plastic pallets but I have seen drivers put huge holes in metal i-beams, knock over shelves of heavy equipment (6000+ pounds per shelf), and one dude sideswiped a cinderblock wall which offset it by almost a foot. There was also the one guy that did indeed come to work high and hit a person. I don't know exactly how bad it was but they were taken away in an ambulance and the driver was fired. Operating multi ton equipment while high is not rad in the slightest.

There was also the one guy that did indeed come to work high and hit a person. I don't know exactly how bad it was but they were taken away in an ambulance and the driver was fired. Back in my 20s I worked at Walmart overnight stocking shelves. We were always constantly understaffed because it was a lovely job that paid terribly, and also it was legitimately hard work stocking 20-30 pallets of poo poo per night. Because of this, we could get away with absolute murder and not have to worry about losing our jobs. Because we were always so short, around the holiday season they'd spring unannounced overtime on us at the end of shifts constantly. The guy who operated the high-low was always stuck super late. One morning he had enough, looked our boss right in the eyes and deliberately plowed the bottom of the rig through a boxed flat screen television. I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard at work in my life. The dude was already fond of deliberately destroying merchandise but it was the first time I'd seen him do high 3 digits at once. Dude was right there the next night and for months until I left, endlessly breaking stuff intentionally. Edit: that dude ruled and now that I'm thinking about him i may as well throw a couple more stories in. My very first night on the job I was assigned Housewares. We used the top shelves in the aisles to store identical merch to the stuff on thr lower shelves. I went to put a box of dishes on the top shelf, and accidentally pushed another set off and they broke. I was terrified I was going to lose my job. He asked what happened and after I explained, he said "oh, like this?" and shoved like 4 boxes off the top shelf and laughed. Months later I was working in the Pets department and Walmart at the time used a very stupid hybrid ordering system, where it tracked when items were low and automatically reordered them but managers could also put in orders for stuff that was low. So what would happen is it'd send a double order and we'd have no room on the actual shelves for all the merchandise. So we got an entire pallet of boxed aquariums. So this guy filled the empty shelves with them. But there were still a good 10 or 12 left. So he picks one up off the pallet, brings it to the now full shelves, pretends to be confused about where to put it, then just drops it on the floor and breaks it. He did this with every. Single. One. God drat dude. Monroe, you were hilarious Charity Porno fucked around with this message at 07:36 on May 13, 2022 |

It's more that it seemed funny to me since no one was injured (more of an inconvenience than anything else; the gas pipe wasn't even badly damaged and everyone went back to work as soon as the FD gave the all clear). I'd never seriously advocate driving a forklift in that state. ...Well, not for anyone I care about, anyway.

Where my husband works, they make a lot of LARGE, HEAVY multi-million dollar machines for international companies. He came home with a story about a guy who was fired, no questions asked, because one of the owners saw him driving through the shop on the forklift, while watching videos on his phone. Apparently, it was an rear end clenching moment, there was yelling, and the guy was out the door in five seconds. There were apparently several machines in various build states that, if hit, would have cost the company MILLIONS in time and materials to repair, not to mention OSHA fines and fines for delivering late to the companies those machines were being built for.

I worked for the freight handling vendor for US Airways/American for about 14 years. Large wide-body aircraft like the B777 or A330 use palletized/containerized cargo bins, and we're talking multiple tons of freight and pallets sometimes weighing about 8-9,000 lbs. each. They would be built up on the cargo facility on large rolling dollies and run to plane-side by very powerful tractor-tugs. The company, pulling these incredibly heavy loads of goods and commodities, was murder on airport infrastructure. Our tug drivers rolled right through the security gates leading into the Aircraft Operation Area because they didn't know how difficult it is to control four of these behind you. But my favorite part was coming to work and seeing another dock door just destroyed by someone going in or out with these multiple tons of cargo and catching the wall with one of the dolly corners. Rips half the steel doorframe out of a solid cinderblock warehouse wall. This would happen, roughly, annually. Construction crews would need a month or more to clean the area, reset the door frame, and rebuild the wall back into the existing structure. I would have wondered how they made a profit but you could easily figure that out by looking at the wages they offered. I watched forklift drivers take corners at crazy speeds and lose 15-ft tall stacks of freight onto the warehouse floor. I watched one bored kid park his forklift forks against a wall, then proceed to burn the tires off of it by holding down the gas (liquid propane) in FWD. No one died in that warehouse while I was there, but there were some grisly foot injuries. loving clowns.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Lol this owns more Walmart stories please. Unfortunately most of the people there, myself included (to my shame, now) were very focused on just getting through the nights with our heads down. It was a hard job, the volume was absolutely insane. My permanent position ended up being Pets where we were expected to clear about 30 pallets of heavy merchandise, every single night. It was a really miserable job, which is why this dude's antics were a ray of light. They were more frequent when I first left the job, but to this day I still have the occasional nightmare im forced to go back there to work Edit: hahaha actually I totally forgot they put him in the toys department for a while. I think they did napkin math that it'd take more effort to do smaller amounts of damage. He knew I collected the then-new Marvel Legends figures. They'd put out variants that were randomly packed in cases, so you'd never know if one was in your case until you opened it. Every time he got a crate he'd yell "Yo, Porno! Your nerd poo poo is here, come look!" If there was a rare one, I'd let him know which one and he'd put it on a back peg for me so I could grab it after my shift was over. He did end up hating toys, presumably for the napkin math reason indicated, so he just put things in the wrong place constantly until the department manager complained so much they moved him out and his reign of terror could resume.

Like 15 years ago I was working at a cement plant doing manual labor. The place had a kind of intern program where if you worked there and had a child enrolled full-time in college they could come make like $20 an hour over the summer. It was me and about a dozen other teenagers whose parents worked there, and they just had us doing manual labor. It was hard work but the pay was great. Usually they would stick all of us with some supervisor guy and we’d go here or there to shovel or jackhammer or whatever. One day they put us with a guy we’d never met and he takes us down into a building we’d never seen. It was several floors underground and looked like a big empty parking garage. It was just gray concrete with giant pillars and a ceiling like 15-20 foot high. I remember looking at the pillars and they had what looked like wind scoring on them, like old ruins you see that have been exposed to desert winds for a thousand years. It was very out of place compared to the other places in the plant we had worked. It wasn’t even really dirty, it just had real fine dust everywhere. The guy just goes “okay just sweep up here” and walked out. We were done in like 10 minutes so we just bullshitted and stood around. Like 30 minutes later some other guy we had never seen just walked in and when he saw us he looked shocked and was like “…What are you doing? Why are you here?” And one of us said “Chuck brought us here to sweep” and the guy goes “out! Now! Everyone out right now!” And shoved us out. We went back to the break room for a bit then one of the high up plant manager guys came in and was like “hey guys, sorry there’s been a mixup, no work today! Everyone gets the day off!”. We were all jazzed and were home by noon. I asked my dad later what happened, and he hadn’t heard the story, but when I described what room we were in he nearly poo poo himself. He said that room was some sort of large-scale emergency pressure release system for these million-ton rock grinding machines. So if there was a catastrophic failure, all the pressure would be diverted through these big underground rooms and expelled out into an empty mine a mile away. Anything in there would be basically vaporized, which is why all the walls and pillars were scored. I have no idea why that dude took us down there, I heard he was let go immediately. Next day we came in and no one mentioned it ever.

Back in the glory days of the the oil boom I had foreman that would encourage people to get high, so they could work for 14+ hour days driving poo poo like this around in endless circles: You could hit a forklift with that and not even notice. That part in the front (the stinger) is designed to go up and down, so you can hook onto other units and do a "push-pull" where you basically combine units. It is twin engined, and the middle part is an elbow, so you articulate up to 90 degrees and whip some amazing donuts. Amazingly, there was not a lot of injuries because if you slammed into someone, they would slam into you. Here's a video of it action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLKpauTxKxI As you can see, he's an experienced operator because he's cut his seat belt. WIth an open air cab. Basically figure skaters stoned 24/7 but with massive machines. Trusting each other not kill one another
