same here, (great post btw), people will do crazy things to save a buck….i would go as far to say that Osha would have a field day with many entities one would consider “compliant” and/or “by the book”………”we take employee safety seriously around here!…..huh?! SIL rating? what’s that?”….

We used to invite the local version of OSHA onto our jobsites on a regular basis for consultation purposes. They were happy to do it, and we caught some mistakes before they turned into problems. It also put teeth into it when we had safety meetings with subs. They understood that we weren't messing around, so they didn't. It made jobsites run far better once everyone got into the swing of it, since there wasn't the same level of difficulty in getting things done.

It puts me in the mind of a large employer in the Seattle area. The joke is that they decided they needed a baby in a month, so they hired nine women.

I didn't "get" Dilbert cartoons at all for a long time. My work had always been with small companies, and the brass were hands on people in all of them. Then I went to work for a developer who did everything from the investment side of it through the leasing operations. I was part of the construction team, and worked with the architects and some of the others to get it all done. The amount of stupid and entitled that leaked down from the top was spectacular. And the amount of money they would waste, while gouging everyone else, including employees, was likewise spectacular. I didn't stick around there very long. Unfortunately, the next company I worked for was a similar mess, but at least they mostly left me alone to work. Life is much better now!

While I was in business school, I made a joke in accounting class about employees being the company's most valuable asset and that they should be amortized and depreciated. I thought it funny enough that I emailed Scott Adams the joke knowing that he looks to base Dilbert on real life. A couple of months later I saw this in the weekend newspaper.

One of the trucking companies I worked for was founded by a truck driver. And yet he was heard to say "Truck drivers are scum". He was not trying to be 'funny'.

Not sure if I got the hex or round core roundwounds. The stinger doesn’t look perfectly round so I probably have the hex cores, doesn’t say on the package what it is. I do like em! They sound especially good run through the claw.;):roflmao:

Likely hex--the roundcores have that writ large on the package. You couldn't miss it.

The claw makes everything sound better.;)
