Yup. Just like every other place I've ever worked. Can't see past quarterly profit increases until everything inevitably crashes and burns

Where I live at least some of the bigger construction companies do talk about safety a lot and can be fairly strict about it. It's good PR and saves money by having your workers healthy and working and there doesn't need to be work stoppages due to accidents.

Yeah I miss when not every company was just "qUaRteRlY iNcReAsEs OvEr aLL eLsE" and it wasn't rare for a business to care about safety, quality, the law, etc.

the company I work at has vestiges of safety programs but repeatedly denies my requests for very simple safety controls from not blocking the fire alarm and exits with inventory, to an oxygen monitor in a room full of compressed gas tanks (some of which are hydrogen. fun!)

yeah i gotta get the fuck outta here.
