When a business has leverage over your livelihood, it's easily abusable. It's not as simple as saying "no" when the consequences include your family losing their home. This is why OSHA is so great, it rightly shifts the liability from the employee to the employer who is running the job and telling the workers what to do.
- plasticchris 2y agoSome thing that stuck with me early on in engineering school, there was an ethics seminar, and the instructor asked me what I would do if I were told to sign off on say some sort of waste dump into a residential area. The thing that stuck with me is he didn’t let me off the hook when I said I would say no he said OK so they fire you and now they sue you and what do you do now?
- nothercastle 2y agoHa yeah that dump is going in you just dot your i’s and cross your t’s make sure you meet minimum requirements keep your emails and don’t let your professional insurance lapse because you know there will be lawsuits. That’s just yet reality of the job
