Can I get a copy of this PowerPoint? We can retool it and give it to Congress... How to avoid a government shutdown.... Work together!

I hope that OP was wearing safety gloves while taking those notes. Paper cuts can be nasty and painful.

Does everything have to revolve around the government shutdown!? As a disabled veteran, I am very aware of the impact. I would surely hope that the rest of America is aware. Honestly, everyone needs to quit commenting about it, and DO something about it. Ugh! Absolutely irritating!

Someone I used to work with got hurt on purpose to try and sue the company... There's people who do that.

its not that you choose to hurt yourself, but that you choose not to prevent yourself from getting hurt by not following safety guidelines. Got something in your eye? why no safety glasses? cut your hand? why no safety gloves. fell off something high? why no harness? You get my point I think.

Yeah i did get your point, but still this is something uncontrollable. I mean i knew a person who died while working because the machine he was using had a technical problem and electrocuted him until he turned into a crisp!

Yeah. Real accidents do occur, but the ratio of preventable to unpreventable is just crazy. and the companies get charged for it. I'm sure it wasn't just one slide that said "you're costing us money!" but that is the general message usually. Unfortunate but true.

Wait... What?

Sexual harassment makes me a sad, sad panda.

English, ************! Do you speak it?

That's fascinating Latin, but I fail to see how it applies here.

In the military, they call that "malingering."

They also used to call shell-shock/PTSD 'malingering' so ymmv on that one.

People are sometimes wrongly accused of malingering, and it can be difficult to identify, however faking illness or injury or deliberately inuring yourself in order to avoid performing your duties (because in the military, service members get paid even if they physically can't work) is the definition of malingering. You can even get in trouble for injuring yourself by accident because you did something so stupid injury was inevitable. I overheard one of my superiors saying that a guy who broke his hand punching one of those punching bag arcade games could be reprimanded for being such a muscle-headed dolt that he followed through and landed his fist on the hard body of the machine behind the punching bag.

Did you show a cheesy video on what happens when you get close to rotor blades? If so, I want to watch! I hope it's as good as the forklift training videos

Nah. Producing a video would be too expensive. It's much cheaper to wrangle a live seagull and toss it up into a spinning rotor whenever we get new guys. I'd be glad to demonstrate though. Bring a bucket and you'll have instant seagull soup.

I'll bring bring some vegetables too, gotta have those vitamins
