Here I am, thinking times are certainly changing.
I haven't had any thoughts of turning him in. Even if I did, I doubt it would do any good. This is the same place where the manager applauses his laziness and informs me I should just let him be and only focus on myself.
Well, then. (Yes, I am making plans on leaving the place. Paid CNA training, hopefully soon).
If you were in my situation, having witnessed what I did, what would you have done?
Where I'm at, he gets turned in in a hot second. People die if we fuck up what we're doing. Just Google "ND oil field fire." Many of these fires are from poor/improper design and in at least one case, has involved an EE drinking at work.
Having said that, it all depends where I'm at. Flipping burgers or working retail? I didn't see shit. It'll catch up to him and when it does I can point a laugh.
When I worked as a mechanic, anyone drinking or doing any drugs on the job got canned, end of story. The liability for a botched brake job is just too high. When I worked in aerospace, people got kid glove treatment and were placed in jobs where they couldn't damage hardware, until they screwed up enough times; then they were walked out. That was in the old days. By the time I retired, people drinking got one shot at straightening out, and were gone if they didn't. A billion dollar military communications satellite is nothing to be working on, if you are impaired. Mistakes happen even if one is sober.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
