[QUOTE="km3, post: 2306205, member: 56117"] No. I'm usually able to meet the production standards which my supervisors have for me while working safe. Other people are quick to compromise, however, and it makes me cringe every time. Egress is my single biggest pet peeve. Not having a clear walkway, regardless of what job you're doing, is a huge risk for multiple reasons. Of course, nobody [I]intends[/I] to get maimed or killed at work. But a lot of people (at UPS and other warehouse/factory jobs) do cut corners because they feel that pressure to produce. And in that regard, UPS isn't much different from other workplaces in industrial settings. I'm not here to argue that UPS is the brown devil, or anything like that. As far as I'm concerned, outside of the issue of safety, the company has been good to me. I'm here to make one point only: They don't care about safety. This is clearly evident to anybody that's spent more than 1 hour working here as an hourly. [/QUOTE]
