Bitwise industries stole our last checks and our 401k money. And a massive amount of tax money.
I thought 401k money was held at the financial institution the account is with, how did your company steal it?
That’s a very good question. We still can’t get our money out and it’s been two months.
Once had a manager instruct me to block an emergency exit with an extremely large piece of machinery. While the building was still full of customers.
I work for a fire marshal. We get complaints about stuff like this allll the time.
This was likely worse, the intent was explicitly to block the emergency exit. That was the point of the request.
Triangle shirtwaist factory energy
My old job stored chemical waste longer than what the law allowed in containers that werent labeled correctly. No one knew for sure what the waste was because the guy that was responsible for that before me would just mix different wastes together. The solvent fridge (just a normal fridge from the 90s against a wall in the prep area out in the open) had about 10 gallons of flammable liquids (old solvents and reagents from the 400 level labs and organic classes) and 3 one liter containers of 15 year old diethyl ether which is almost certainly chock full of organic peroxides. (These are explosive) There was another container of ~100g dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) in the flammables cabinet no one paid any attention to for quite some time. It was a good thing that it never became dry as that would need to be handled by the bomb squad. (Previous guy found an old crusty jar of picric acid (a friction sensitive explosive) that resulted in the bomb squad coming to the lab. That shut down part of that campus until it was dealt with) And then theres a waste container that I found at one of the outlying campuses that according to the label, had nitric acid, ammonia and bleach which is… not great.
Them being mixed feels like the worst part of that.
Did everyone else just stand by while this guy did this? Or was he fired as soon as it was discovered?
He was the only one working in the prep area. They had no one to replace him (yet) and didn’t look that closely at the state the lab was in. During the winter semester he used up all his vacation and sick time, came back for a couple days so he could get holiday pay and quit.
Overheard the owner of my last company tell our corporate recruiter “we’re done hiring women, they just get knocked up and leave.” That, among other shit was why I left. My gf thought I was over exaggerating what they said and did but that was the incident that opened her eyes after I told her. They also did some shady shit with PPP loans that I actually reported a week or two ago. Who knows if anything will come of it but I tried and I’m willing to answer questions if the feds or whoever comes knocking.
>over exaggerating
Like she was done with exaggerating?
Does anyone under exaggerate?
I see this usage a lot now and I have no idea where it came from. Isn’t just exaggerating the same meaning?
|Does anyone under exaggerate?
Yes. Usually when it’s a fuck up.
