@Gadgie £91? :eek: That's insane!
@jaccat Yeah. Always. I was reading my post again today. Started laughing when I realized that out of the 3 huge no-no's I described. The headphone thing is only one I still care about. Lol. You know your company sucks when...
Fortunately nobody has been killed here. Couple of serious injuries though. I broke my wrist a few years ago with a walk behind unit. (Totally my own stupidity) Non-displaced fracture, almost no soft tissue damage. I was lucky.
Our equipment repair tech was telling me the other day, about a young woman at a different warehouse (same company) who crushed her ribcage with the handle of a walk-behind fotklift. She is expected to make a full recovery. Still... Ouch.
Biggest fear I have working in places like this, is having a moment of loss of concentration and injuring or killing someone. I have been fighting survivors guilt for years over the death of a patient that wasn't my fault in any way. I still feel responsible.
I don't know if I could handle it if I really was responsible.
Such a frustrating thing, trying to explain to someone. "I'm f*cking mad at you because I almost hurt you. Because you are not watching where you are going. I don't want to live with you on my conscience. Death is real kids, real and permanent. Wake up!"
Then they look at you like your stupid... Or crazy... Or both. I just don't say much at work anymore.
Bah! My company is broken. Lol.
