    I work for a woke-as-fuck sustainable packaging company, and it’s ridiculous to me how some manufacturers work.

    It is totally possible to make large profits and not put people at undue risk. I have no pity for companies that don’t have even that basic respect for their employees.

      I work at the corporate headquarters of an industrial contract service company. We have some plants that have been accident-free for close to a decade and others that can’t make it 30 days. It’s absolutely jarring!

        It really does come down to site leadership, ya know? Totally fixable problem

          That’s the nice part about my job at the corporate office. I build reports and dashboards to help bring attention to problems site level management raises to the upper levels of management allowing actual action to occur. Just a couple of days ago I built a report to help bring attention to safety issues that the plant operator is dragging their feet about fixing so that upper management can apply the kind of pressure that plant-level folks in our company can’t.

          But mostly my job is nice because I’ve got a super cushy job as far as local tech work goes
