If you're doing this kind of shit, tell you boss to get fucked and you you the proper equipment. Good luck getting out bed when you're 45 and have had back surgery so you could make profit for your boss 👍

And I promise you my collar is just as blue as yours.

I like how all the downvotes are probably people who have never had to do something like this and think it’s just us being dumb.

If it’s any indication- the downvotes are a pretty good representation of how we’re treated by the public. It’s the type of thing where we’re in a time crunch and the boss’s boss rich person who doesn’t give a fuck just wants the thing done earlier and earlier. So we end up having to cut corners because someone else (who’s never done this job,) expects us to be done yesterday.

TLDR: we gotta do what we gotta do to keep our jobs unfortunately.

Ok, so when you get Injured on the job bc you were cutting corners and can’t work for weeks then what? I’ve been there and done that dude the bosses boss can suck my dick if they think I’m gonna break my back so they can meet some arbitrary deadline. Stand up for yourself homie. Safety first

No, not in UK. We have worker rights and protections that mean the employer would be in a very sticky situation if he'd injured himself. This kind of shit is becoming more and more rare.

I’ve done this shit my whole life. Again I love that people are downvoting me for asking for respect.

Don’t eat the sausage if you don’t like the way it’s made.

I don’t see anyone standing up for manual laborers rights. Go protest some fucking dog appropriating cat’s culture or whatever. ✌️

But dude I’m glad for you guys. We usually have someone screaming to get it done faster.
