I personally think the original post has gone kind of askew into a different debate. If somebody does their job then they do their job. If things are all to the rules and you are not complying to the rules then it is what it is. I could rattle off the number of times I have gotten off and the people in enforcement who let it slide but that's not the point.

I wanted to explain my reasoning for questioning an earlier post. I have no interest in starting arguments or humiliating other members. We all have our code of ethics or values and whilst they differ from person to person, most of us share similar views. To judge another person's attitude or ability on their sex,colour or religion is just wrong. Even if it's a throw away line or something said in jest, it is still wrong and paves the way for others to join in, often without fully understanding what they are supporting. At one end is the cheap comment or sexist remark, at the other is full blown abuse. It is all connected as anybody from Doctors, Police and Psych's will attest to. Before anybody replies to this, just think what sort of society you want for your mother, wife, sister, girlfriend or daughter?

Apologies for further hijacking this thread, but my warehouse team were all male, we introduced some female team members, they had amazing attention to detail, no ego and got on with the job. Suddenly the boys were picking up their game not wanting to be shown up by these new team members, and the place became more professional.Jus sayin’......

In used to work for a dodgy construction company, and you just can't tell some guys.

Driver is responsible, plenty of people used to overload the work trucks thinking they would be safe as the 'boss told them to', I used to tell them that the boss will drop them like a hot potato if something happened. They looked at me like I was the idiot for not doing these jobs.

I refused to overload trucks and the boss stopped sending me to pick up dodgy loads, he used to send other people mostly ethnic with little English skill to pick those loads up.

Lucky you only got stopped and may end up with a fine, imagine the repercussions if something happened and someone got injured or killed, you would be looking a prison time.

Consider it a lesson learned and I guess you now know where your 'Boss' stands, can't trust these 'bosses' as far as you can throw them.

In most companies and organisations you have to look over your shoulder more and cover your back side from those that are supposed to support you.
