It was Steve

We should unionize

Damn thing broke

Get better racking.

I fucking quit

Were there any witnesses?

If not: blame the shelves "the thing just buckled when I put the pallet there"

Else: cop to it, I guess? Can't trust nobody in warehouse.

We're insured, right?

This osha violation

Nobody was hurt.

Probably the first thing i would want to hear.
...except Steve, but he's a rounding error.
- There are actually 0 OSHA incidents every year, but Workplace Incident Georg has 10,000 workplace incidents each day and is an outlier and shouldn't be counted.

"better start tidying"

Warehouse manager came in early (it wasn’t me)

Saw the pallets on the floor lookin' swirly (it wasn’t me)

Thousands worth of product shattered (it wasn’t me)

Said my forklift skills don’t matter (it wasn’t me)

Looks like all pallets of drinks. Those are gonna be heavy and probably max out the weight rating. So my response would be:

“Been overloaded for years” 🤷‍♂️

What happened here?

I'd guess someone reversed a forklift into one of the vertical shelf beams. These beams will carry a good amount of weight when that's only applied vertically.
But if you bend the beams with a forklift, or push them from the side (like when a neighboring shelf falls over), then they will fold under the weight pretty quickly.
- Oh I know, I was just stating the three words I'd say to my boss. If I ask what happened, then I probably just arrived to see the mess at the same time they did, right? 😁

Zigged. Should've zagged.

"humans make mistakes"

so many goddamn iNvEsTiGaTiOnS I have to write for work boil down to this

if you're too cheap to engineer out the possibility of human error, don't come crying to me, a human, about it

Aren't those done to figure out how things happened so they could minimize the risk of it happening again? Someone made a mistake but what led to the mistake and what could be changed so that either this doesn't happen or when it does, it's not as bad.
- That's what workplace investigations are supposed to be, yes. My workplace unfortunately seems more preoccupied with assigning blame to operators and writing increasingly complex rule changes that wouldn't be necessary if they spent, let me see, literally more than $0 on upgrading our tech...
