"Forced To Work A 9-Hour Shift In A Smoke-Filled Production Hall With High CO2 Levels"
"I'm employed at a large meat manufacturing / packing plant, and due to improper ventilation / exhaust of industrial ovens, production areas filled with smoke, along with elevated CO2 levels. Every shift has safety managers, but they signed off on allowing production to continue across two shifts. Smoke made everyone's eyes constantly water, was almost impossible to breathe after a full shift, and those that did go home sick were still penalized with attendance points. No care for employees or their safety and well-being, managment only worried about numbers and making company owners more money. HR response is if safety says it's fine, then it's fine. Would have quit on the spot if I didn't have a family and mortgage to provide for."
No one is forcing any of these people to work at any of these jobs.
Don’t like the culture, find a new one. Or better yet, start your own company.
Oh sh#te, Chan is back, sharing their deep wisdom.
Sorry to nit pick but in your comment, should there be quotes around the word DEEP. I mean it is Chan
That's true. But, if you get fired or laid off, you can receive unemployment benefits. If you quit, you can't.
