Workplace Insanity

[bran]

I worked in a very unsafe plastic injection moulding place once..for a bit...no safety covers on anything..all the machines at top speed...mostly immigrant workers getting paid fuck all...
We regularly cut our hands with the stanley blade covered in sellotape...loads of times almost got squashed in machines you couldnt turn off..emergency buttons didnt work...
But one machine was called "The mangler"...it took fingers/hair/scalp..whatever it could get...it was set so fast only two people could keep up with it..and both had already lost fingers...The boss wanted to make a million before he retired...he was almost there when one poor Asian Lady got her face removed by the mangler..she was new too..shouldnt have been anywhere near it..the bosscunt gave her a weeks money and threatened to call immigration on her...place was shut down week later..coppers/immigration people/health and safety..all over.....me...i had a new job lined up already...it was an in between money thing working there...but oh did i see how the other sides live...hope that cunt lost everything..

I worked in a goods marshaling yard years ago
At that time the railway system was a state government enterprise so employees were pretty much unfireable, hopeless alcoholics were put to work as level crossing guards where marshaling operations would intersect roads leading to dispatch buildings where freight from incoming goods trains was held waiting pick up
Trucks would see a crossing guard and presume it be safe as the guard was not indicating otherwise when in fact the guard was impaired by alcohol related brain damage at the very least.
The truck drivers had no recourse because they had signed a waver on entering the yard

Serves her right, did her head wrags get caught in the mangler?

Christmas party was still going strong when I left.

Got back to work on Monday and a female colleague walked into the office with a really large and dark, black eye. After I left the party, she and another, younger colleague went upstairs in the hotel.

During the liason, she starts screaming "Treat me rough". Now this young fella had no idea where to go with that request. The female was known to be active and confident in her abilities in the bedroom, but the poor young lad had very little clue what he was getting into.
He picks up a pillow to cover his hand and starting slapping her. Unfortunately for her eye, and his ability to have the piss taken for years, he lost the pillow mid swing and punched her off the side of the bed. He fucking well knocked her out.

Smoke breaks were always hilarious for all lads (except him) from that point on.

1982. My crew and boss had just put Amelia Island Plantation(Florida) on the map after being the resort model used in the movie Caddyshack. We turned that place around along with some smart business people, attracting world class customers like Comcast, Medtronics, Simon and Schuster, Apple, Microsoft etc.

We were quite used to our great pay and >$500 grats at the end of each show.
Then along comes a "shuffle" in Food and Bev(who somehow, was our bosses in audio/visual/data production at the conference center). We come to work, and this fat 300lb. bitch is now boss, and she is mudsharking and put an untrained black man(with no engineering experience)as my direct supervisor. All of a sudden, NO money, budget, and the last package of tips is missing, no explanation, just "get out of my office"!
So, Austin and I overturn her desk, all pretty with roses, new IBM 5150, and B&O audio system, and resign.
Best move I ever made. Started a home recording studio and the rest is history. Got my A.S in broadcast engineering, worked in recording and FM. Retired by 40, cash for the home, joined LL.
