He’ll save a few million in lawsuits by having that email on record. He will be able to claim that every injury he hasn’t heard about is the fault of somebody below him.
If I were below Musk, I’d be printing off every email that I sent to his office that had an injury on in to protect myself.
Someone gets a paper cut and the CEO is going to lose a half-day over it?
Not to mention everyone in between.
Musk stole it from me. I have been saying and doing the exact same thing for 20 years.
Sounds like he’s trying to scare people out of reporting accidents. But what else would you expect of a lib.
“what we need to do to make it better”
LOL!
Like Mommy to a child: “kiss it and make it better”.
Yeah, I guess on an emotional level that’s ‘smart’.
Oh, barf.
We are going thru the same thing where I work. Big safety push. Have been some accidents. It is an old plant with old machinery. I am supposed to turn in a”near miss” report each month and multiple “safety blitzes” about unsafe conditions. Trip hazards, leaks, etc. The head maintenance guy left a note with his keys on top of it last week. The powers that be wanted to write him up over a safety interlock on a machine that cut an employees finger pretty good. I dunno the right or wrong on that one, but everything is in an uproar.
That ain’t emotional intelligence. That is a CEO trying to stave off a union in a company that has never made a profit but lives off the govt teat
The operations VP at my place sent out an email congratulating one of our plants for 2 years without a recordable injury.
I walked into his office and asked if he was really proud of that. When he said yes I said “if you’re not bleeding you’re not working hard enough”
Yea, I got the look
Ho hum. Something to get his name in the news now that he is off the Presidental panel? Who knows. I do know after seeing a “how it’s made” on the Telsa and seeing the huge dies to smack the aluminum chassis, I couldn’t help but wonder why he wasn’t using the superplastic forming that Ford is using on the F-150, oh well I guess the F-150 is more advanced....
There’s no way he could perform his job as CEO effectively if he follows through with his pledge.
This is a PR stunt, full stop.
Why do I feel like there should’ve been a “happy ending?”
You don’t attend the monthly safety training, the scanner will lock you out at the door and you will be escorted to the training immediately. English is required for the training. When the fatalities from the accidents are announced at the monthly meeting from the improper lock out procedures there is a doubling down of management especially when the safety leaders are not properly doing the procedures and are dying on the job. Eighty per cent of the safety training is informing you that you are unqualified to perform ninety per cent for the jobs in the plant. I doubt that he, Mr. Musk, knows how to clean up blood. Emotional empathy and bravado is no way to run a safety program. The lock out procedures are laminated and attached to every machine in the plant. The SHE department and First Responders as of last month have been replaced with management employees—the safety observations are to be all computerized without the paper. There must be some legal reason for not having any responders anymore—I don’t know why.
