Work discoveries (not the car)
Found out the fire alarm system has been out of action for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Found out yesterday.
So that means no weekly test or alarms that make a sound!
Just so happened last night that with very few people in the building that an evacuation was required. But this meant someone from the 2nd floor heading to the 3rd floor to tell those that remained to exit the building!

Any other amazing work discoveries? 1999 Defender TD5 110

So does that mean your company has to have fire marshals with a sounder on every floor or is a shut down until repaired.? Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

We have fire marshals on the floors (assuming those staff members have not gone home) but I'm not sure on manual fire sounders. We all still working totally unware at least until yesterday. 1999 Defender TD5 110

I've discovered that I run around doing invoice jobs to bring more money into the firms coffers, yet another member of staff (my sister....) does a second job within works hours to line her own fat arse pockets. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

Does that count?

Not my work but I know of a work place that has a 2 post ramp (never been inspected and very ill trained personnel to use it) they also remove and refit wheels (torque wrench is 20+ yo and never been tested and I know it’s constantly left on whatever setting was used last). I have advised of these failings as I know someone there, they have reported it but the bosses obviously want to save money.




On a much lighter note I did find this at work:
