All that would accomplish is me getting fired. Pretty sure he's part owner in the company and friends with just about everyone at the plant and has been working there forever. There is so much worse shit I should have reported, but I don't see it accomplishing much and everyone in the industrial electrical field knows each other. The fact that there aren't inspectors in industrial is actually crazy.

Everywhere in the developed world has building code offices you can report safety violations to.

This is plants that don't follow most rules and I'm pretty sure you have to go to OSHA, but I would never trust that. Sounds like a great way to get blackballed.

As long as you don't get hurt, it's ok then. Fuck everyone else miright?

It's similar everywhere so I doubt me saying anything would have changed shit. Also, I don't think this particular job would have gotten anyone hurt.

So it’s okay… if you make more money this way? You and your old boss are the same.
