Dude.

You know what heavy machinery is right? Even operating a heavy goods crane in a warehouse is dangerous.

Just think.

Someone floated this idea, and someone else higher up thought it was a good enough idea to run with it.

Yes. I do it for a living. Getting into accidents and having to call 911 on your first day trying it is sad. Ive trained senior people who do great on their first day.

This is a normal thing. My dad was a foreman at a helicopter plant that went on strike ~20 years ago. They had all the office people trying to pick up as much slack along with the foremen and whoever they could get.

Who knows what training these people are getting in the middle of a strike.

Considering how the qualified people are all presumably on strike, it would be like that Office reference up there but Michael is left to his own devices.

Makes sense. Management often doesn't know how to do even the most basic things

If my company told me to operate heavy machinery because the union was on strike I'd be like "Nah, I'm an accountant. That ain't happening."

I hope their machines and inventory get fucked up bad and costs them tens of millions.

Without people getting hurt natch.

Is this is a right to work state doing this? Because I can't imagine being a pencil pusher and being demanded to go operate shit you have no idea how it works, don't most people get these jobs because they aren't cut out for manual labor in the first place?
