THAT’S your concern?!

Work in a warehouse/grocer stocking merch. Been noticing since I was hired that the pallets our distribution center sends are often stacked very dangerously and poorly (too high, leaning/unbalanced, product falls on us when we unwrap/break down, heavy items crushing delicate items which we then have to write off). Brought this to the attention of multiple supervisors and the store manager, and was dismissed by all saying, “We've already tried to talk to them, photos won't do any good, it is what it is.” Ended up sending a bunch of photos to our safety department and opened a case with them. Their concern was the ergonomics of it. Didn't give a fuck about losing product or stuff falling on people. Today we had a pallet that was stacked entirely too high and it ended up falling over while being moved off of the truck. By sheer luck I was on…

Today we had a pallet that was stacked entirely too high and it ended up falling over while being moved off of the truck. By sheer luck I was on the opposite side from where it fell, otherwise it would have fallen on me and been a workman's comp claim.

Sent a photo to our safety department to add to the case, and their concerns were whether or not I obtained everyone's permission before taking the photo, and if everyone was wearing the proper shoes (company provides work boots, everyone knows they're supposed to wear them, and while I do, I can't control other people).

The entire time that I was being admonished for taking a photo and for other people's footwear, NOT ONCE did the safety department ask if everyone was okay or if anyone was injured. For what it's worth, they didn't give a fuck about damaged product, either.

I know that someone at some point is going to be injured, and I seriously hope I'm around for it so I can help them sue the fucking pants off of this company for negligence.
