literally the most pathetic thing on this planet is corporations sniveling and crying and acting like they'll go out of business and explode and die if they miss out on .0000000001 cent worth of profit. like it's genuinely fucking pathetic to watch a machine that makes thousands of dollars every second throw themselves on the ground and sob and cry because they missed out on a few cents here and there. oh no, an employee earned some overtime. oh no, the company had to buy a new machine because the old machine broke down and injured and killed employees.

if you've ever worked retail, you'll know the bullshit that comes with being promised overtime. for those that don't know, when you earn overtime in a retail position, your boss will slash hours off of the end of your week so that you don't actually earn overtime. this isn't like, a random occurrence that only happens when you have an asshole manager. this is company procedure. if you earn overtime, your bosses must do everything in their power to try to take it away from you. going as far as to give you entire days off at the end of your week to avoid paying it out. it's a promise they have no legal obligation to carry out. it's just to make the position sound more enticing.

corporations are so pathetic it's insulting. we're expected to pinch all of our pennies and hold on to them for dear life, meanwhile, corporations who make billions of times more than we do act like they have to do the same, going as far as to skimp out on necessary supplies and safety precautions for their employees. a lot of work places don't have necessary PPE. a lot of people do not receive adequate training on dangerous pieces of equipment because the company doesn't want to "waste" the time (money) to train them.

it's just so fucking pathetic to watch a multi billion dollar company act like if they lose out on literal pennies that they'll go out of business instantaneously. it's absolutely pathetic and i hope the suits at the top know that nobody who matters looks up to them. we look down on you as a pathetic, whiny, greedy pieces of shit who cry and moan about losing out on cents while they make billions. it's literally the saddest behavior on planet earth. wake up.

Edit: great addition from the tags for folks who might not know how working retail works. corporations will go as far as they have to in order to slash your hours. like this person said, generally they refuse to let you work full time (40 hours a week) so they do not have to pay for any possible medical benefits as well as destroying any chances you may have had at overtime. i forgot to mention that corporations love to promise medical benefits (health insurance) and then deny you the necessary working hour requirements in order to qualify for it in the first place. thank you to who wrote these:

🎂 birthday fundraiser!! 🎂 For my 30th birthday, I'm asking for your help raising the funds to purchase a specialized set of PPE that will allow me to safely return to zoo industry meetings and events.

I’m a freelancer, and I’m also disabled, which means the last three years have required some pretty hard choices to protect my health and ability to work. That’s meant giving up doing what I love, including being part of the zoo world. and being completely absent from everything the zoological field is doing. The thing is, the end of Covid precautions mean I can’t safely engage in the conferences that are crucial to my research and the types of things I teach about on this blog. Staying relevant in the field requires being up-to-date on what’s going on (which conferences are ideal for) and the networking at meetings is what builds trust and relationships that help me learn things. I also just miss being part of the zoo world so much. The thing I want most right now is to be able to attend the AZA and ZAA annual conferences this fall - especially because I’m dreaming of submitting an application present my work at both of them, for the first time ever!

I found this really neat PPE kit that should let me attend meetings safely: it’s basically a combination of a mask, a portable HEPA air filter, and a battery pack that you wear as headgear. Because it’s fancy technology, it’s $$$. If you’re able to help contribute towards helping me fund it - even just a couple dollars - I would appreciate it beyond words. This is all a labor of love, and it’s something I want to be able to continue doing for a long time. To do it well, I have to be able to physically get to industry meetings and participate in them to make it work. It’s a major equity issue that industry meetings are choosing to drop Covid-prevention policies and are therefore unsafe and inaccessible to disabled researchers Iike me - but this PPE option gives me the freedom to continue my work without having to risk my health.

Even the smallest amount helps. Thank you so much.

There is some true magic happening nowadays in the tiny island nation of Japan. Even as their rural areas slide towards extinction, the urban heart of the country has never seen more construction. Being a construction worker over there introduces you to a ridiculous subculture: construction fashion. Construction magazines. Construction labour unions. And specialized, bad-ass tools.

Makita, those blue-green monsters, have released something incredible. When you buy your bento lunches from the local convenience store, they cool off on the way back to the jobsite. If you bought a whole bunch of them to share with your coworkers – say, you’re the newbie and they would rather have you do that than handle any actual tools – that food is gonna be ice cold by the time you figure out how to get your PPE back on and climb up to where all the senpais are at.

What did Makita make? A 40-volt, lithum-ion-powered, eight-hundred-watt portable bento microwave for the jobsite. The purity of vision required to force such a thing into being makes me want to cry. Even just saying those words out loud is emotional. By the standards of ridiculous construction-site battery tools, this makes the Milwaukee Bluetooth speaker look like a dollar-store essential. It even comes with a shoulder strap, so the aforementioned newbie can still carry the rest of your tools for you while you’re walking the field.

Now, am I saying all these nice things about the Makita microwave so that they’ll send me a free one? Maybe. Am I saying all these nice things so that they’ll send me their new cordless angle grinder instead? Yes, very much so. That thing seems like it would be the perfect tool to cut through this ankle bracelet.

Safety and Compliance Report on Aperture Science: PPE

29 CFR 1910.132 establishes:

"Protective equipment shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body"

This anonymous employee was kind enough to allow Inspector 17 to photograph them in their work uniform. The uniform includes a set of blaze orange coveralls and a PFAS (Personal Fall Arrest System)in the form of an AKR (Advanced Knee Replacement).

29 CFR 1910.28(b)(1)(i) establishes:

"The employer must ensure that each employee on a walking-working surface with an unprotected side or edge that is 4 feet (1.2 m) or more above a lower level is protected from falling"

Inspector 17's report on Aperture Science noted that unprotected edges were only present in "Test Chamber" environments and only test participants (such as the employee pictured above) were exposed to these hazards. The issuing of AKR systems to all test participants successfully negated these falling hazard.

When asked about the employee's lack of foot coverings an Aperture representative insisted test chambers were meticulously cleaned of any refuse that an employee could potentially step on. However OSHA 300 logs indicated that test participants occasionally experienced serious stubbed toes and twisted ankles. Inspector 17 attributed these to the use of concrete in test chamber construction and slippery walking-working surfaces.

Aperture was issued a warning and required to ensure that all test participants wear close-toed, slip-resistant footwear in future tests.

Manitoba is set to drop masking requirements in most health-care settings in the province.

Starting May 1, the requirement for staff to wear masks whenever they're around patients will be lifted in most areas, according to a memo sent out to all health-care workers by Shared Health's provincial coordinated health services on Thursday.

The memo says staff will still be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) according to routine protocols, that health-care facilities will continue to be "mask-friendly" and that masks and N95 respirators will still be available for those who wish to wear them.

Shared Health said in a statement it's making the decision based on advice given by infection prevention, control and occupational health and safety experts. [...]

Taking applications for test subjects in the West Midlands area.

Eligible test subjects will be female, within the 18-35 age bracket, non-smokers, in general good physical health.

The test will consist of an examination that will take between 20 minutes and one hour.

You will be required to be naked for the duration of the examination.

All medical professionals involved will be fully trained, and wearing the appropriate PPE (sterile nitrile gloves).

Lubricant will be used where we identify any risk of damage to tissue.

The intent is to investigate the relationship between arousal and elasticity of the vaginal wall.

Stage one will be to establish the baseline elasticity. We ask that you refrain from inserting anything into the vagina for five days prior to entering the program. Rods of fixed diameter will be inserted sequentially until discomfort.

You will then have a five minute break.

Stage two will involve inducing a state of mild arousal, and repeating the sequential rods.

There will then be a further five minute break.

Stage three will involve inducing a highly aroused state, at which point the rods will be inserted until discomfort.

We will then induce climax, and attempt to increase rod diameter again.

If your results are satisfactory, you will be invited to repeat the investigation at intervals of one week, until enough data has been collected.

Please submit applications through DMs.
