A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

FWIW I've been a mechanical engineer for decades and they are right about this. Trust me instead. They're probably reacting with hostility because you're way out of line here; what you're arguing is anti-labor.
There is a profitable balance between productivity and safety, and they'll say one thing while firing people who are too unproductive.
Oh so your experience matters, but mine doesn't? I've presented the same quality of evidence that you have. There isn't a worse "look" than tirelessly arguing that labor is at fault for what we're de facto forced to do.
