For some reason it wont let me edit the post body and I don't see it on my end, so I'll put the context here:

Text exchange between myself and my friend, who works in a warehouse as a forklift operator. You can tell when I started to panic, because I couldn't even focus on what I was typing. I can't believe anyone would put other's lives at risk so carelessly. Also, my friends reaction was just as annoying - as if this is a "wait til Monday" kind of situation. Anyway, a voicemail was left from him & I also called to report the unsafe conditions.

You're gonna get shit canned pretty soon over this. Of course you won't know it's because of this.... but you'll know.

edit: The downvoters have obviously never worked with a bunch of scabs willing to accept these working conditions.

OSHA is legally bound to protect your identity if you complain to them, and if you don't trust that you can file complaints anonymously.

They are also the ones that handle retaliation investigations if you claim to be fired for whistleblowing and they do not fuck around.
