#2 I have a friend who took a job at an Amazon warehouse last year, after a decade working in the oil spill cleanup business (he also is a regionally known professional wrestler and a massage therapist, which is not important). He walked around the site before the interview, and reported back to me afterward that they did not comply with a single rule or regulation about worker or building safety — and the supervisor who interviewed him not only didn’t know this, but was completely uninterested in his offer to research the manuals and develop a plan for them.
Start-upitis. Unless the authorities crack down, it’ll take more disasters like this, and probably avoidable injuries and deaths, before management bothers to do even the basic things. |
