Had a friend working in fire and flood restoration. When she found something she liked, she marked it damaged and took it home. Thankfully she was fired.
My workplace promotes the importance of recycling, even though im the one who takes out the garbage and im instructed to put both waste and recycling in the same garbage compactor
If you see a CR England truck on the road, avoid it at all costs, it's highly possible that it has four Dudes on it who have to each drive an 11 hour shift.
Trucker here - transportation industry in general. Intermodal (rail roads and shipyards) is mostly based on faith. Here's the standard scenario. A company receives an empty container. They fill it with their stuff, and then a driver takes it to the rail yard. It's loaded onto a train and taken across the country. Then it gets loaded onto a ship and taken across an ocean, where it is taken off the ship, and another truck takes it to its final destination to be unloaded. The empty container is then taken back to the rail road, or shipyard. Now here's where things get interesting - or dicey, depending on how you look at it. The driver may never see the inside of the container. He has to take it on faith that the invoice matches what they loaded in the container. It could be 15 tons of drugs, for all he knows. He then takes it to the RR, who also assumes that it's loaded with whatever is on the invoice. They never open it up either. They may X-ray it, and check for radiation. They might even have drug dog sniff the outside a bit. But that's it. If the X-ray silhouette looks even vaguely like what's on the invoice, you're golden. This is true in most countries. So that "furniture" you're shipping can be stuffed with huge amounts of drugs, or be made out of high explosives, and nobody will notice. They spot check maybe one out of a couple thousand containers. But if the rail roads and shipyards were to open up and inspect even 1%, they would fall hopelessly behind. Also, vast tracts of RR tracks are unmonitored, with millions of pounds of hazardous materials traveling over them every day. We know these unmonitored areas exist; making them perfect targets for terrorists. But it would be too expensive to put a camera on every foot of track and have someone monitor the video feed. It would be easy to derail a train with tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds of hazardous materials on it. And unless you're blatant or stupid, it would be easy to get away with it.
i can't speak for the trucking side, but i work alot around the railroad in my job (crew transportation). most of the larger intermodal terminals X-ray containers (the intermodal terminal i go to has one, atleast on the truck side). railyards themselves sometimes have car scanners and x-ray scanners. modern locomotives and most newer cars also have GPS for tracking. there are ways for stuff to slip through, but there are more ways to detect it as well
The one about at&t hits home. Recently bought a new TV from Best buy. Did my research and knew exactly what tv I wanted within my budget. Went in, salesman called my choice a piece of crap and tried upselling me a different brand/model. Asked him to just take me to the one I wanted. He takes me past the ones he was trying to sell, would stop and do a spiel on said brands. I counted with "yeah those legs have been reported often for cracking and breaking due to cheap material. Just give me my damn tv". He shut up quick after that
Most of the time there are too few BB sales people at our store to try to up sell anyone. Just grab the box and go. "No thanks, I don't want the extended warrantee."
I've worked in the banking industry for nearly 20 years. I started as an intern, then teller, then eventually operations and auditing. I worked for one of Wells Fargo's main competitors. Somewhere around 2011-2012, there was a gradual, but noticeable shift in how Wells approached its bankers' incentive program. They'd developed a reputation for putting immense pressure on their salespeople to make their numbers, even making the underperformers skip their lunches to pitch sales and make calls. Even though I heard about it secondhand, I remember thinking how shady it seemed. When the Wells scandal broke years later, I wasn't surprised in the slightest; it was the logical conclusion to a BS business practice. Besides, they weren't the only one; they were just the ones to get caught first. My bank did something similar, but in a more insidious way. Bankers are not paid dollar amounts per account they open. Instead, every account/product is designated a certain number of points, each of which has a different cash value. The value of these points will gradually decrease, usually per business quarter. It makes no sense logistically. That means bankers who are pulling in crazy numbers will eventually drop off due to diminishing returns. Remember, your potential client base is determined largely by location; no matter how much you pressure clients or spend hours cold calling, you will run out eventually. And of course, that means most bankers end up burning out. They quit on their own, or are eventually phased out due to not being able to meet quotas. They're replaced by younger, inexperienced folks who usually don't know what they're in for. And so the cycle begins anew. This is why I stuck with the technical side of banking; salespeople are easily replaceable. Good ops people are not. Let's see, what else... Bank tellers have access to more stuff than clients realize. However, they're told to instruct clients to go to the bankers to handle stuff like mundane account maintenance, transaction history, statement printing, putting on notifications, PIN changes, etc. This is because the company wants the client to sit with the bankers longer, so they can hear sales pitches for stuff they likely don't need. This is why bankers always ask to update your information, so they can spend more time looking through your profile. They'll even claim that they can do transactions for the client, only to quietly slip the transaction to a teller and gives the sales pitch while they're waiting. Of course, this usually blows up in their faces, because clients get pissed off for having their limited free time wasted. Also, their customer service review system is completely nonsensical. You know those follow-up phone calls you sometimes get to review your recent in-branch experience? Yeah, those matter; they determine how much of a bonus a manager makes, or how quickly they get fired. My bank asked clients to rate their experience out of 10. However, anything less than a 9/10 was immediately discarded and recorded as a 0/10. This is because focus groups say that clients who rate 9+/10 are most likely to return to do more business, and are therefore more valuable. Logically, you'd think they'd want to focus more on the 1-8/10s, so they can learn how to better appeal to clients with a more diverse range of issues and expectations. But nope, no one cares about them. The problem is that reviews are inherently subjective; someone's 7/10 could be someone else's 9/10. Reviews are the opinions of an individual, and the scores can be completely unreliable if the client is already in a bad mood, doesn't want to take it seriously, etc. Some assholes could even give a bad score just because they know it'll mess with our management's livelihood. I tried explaining that to my higher-ups, but no one seemed to understand. On a more personal level, my branch was on one of the front lines for the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Our branch was vandalized and attacked repeatedly for several months. It started with belligerent people wandering in off the street, threatening notes, graffiti, etc. But then they started breaking our windows every night. I'd have to call in to our dedicated corporate security line for status updates early every morning, just to find out what kind of mess I'd find. The bank had contracts with construction/carpentry companies to handle damages, but oftentimes it was up to the employees to sweep up the broken glass when they arrived in the morning. Then protestors started breaking windows even in broad daylight, when we were open for business. I watched on guy take a sledgehammer to one window, just above where one of our bankers was sitting. The idiot failed, and ran away when security went after him. Eventually, the protestors started destroying our ATMs; we once had to replace two sets of ATMs twice in less than a week, because they kept getting wrecked. Then the attacks started getting personal. One staffer from another branch was assaulted on the subway, and we all stopped wearing bank insignia while out in public. Despite the extensive media coverage, we weren't allowed to talk to them. We'd be fired on the spot for doing so; instead, we could only refer them to the PR department. Since we never got to show what was happening, the media pushed a narrative that there were only "peaceful protestors" in town. It was complete, utter BS; it got to the point where the entire staff was so stressed and terrified of coming to work. You wouldn't know if some crazy mob would show up at the door, if you'd have to walk through tear gas, etc. The lowest point came in late 2011, when a massive wave protestors planned a day-long march and demonstration. We were all told to come into work - we'd be fired if we didn't - just so the company could save face amidst of all the turmoil. Corporate told us it was completely safe to come in, despite the fact that most of our windows were already busted and the protest was being _broadcast on national news networks._ At least 4,000 people showed up and surrounded the building, shutting down business, trapping us inside as they pounded on the doors, hurled insults, taunts, and chants, and hung banners. I just sat and read most of the time. One of my bankers - who was a few months pregnant - had a panic attack and had to be attended to in the lunchroom. We were told the city cops would come and escort us out, but they never showed. We were trapped in there for about 5 hours before the protestors got bored and moved on. Not before destroying the rest of our windows and spray painting on the walls outside, of course. No one attacked us when we finally made a break for it. The media never talked with us, either; they just followed the march of "peaceful protestors" across the city. That was the point when I realized just how little corporate cared about its employees; I'd already been disillusioned with the job, but that was absolutely terrible.
Polymathically You experienced that a leftist mob is still just a mob, and your history seems to justify their rage at the banking system in general - if not for systemic-economic abuses, than to how those bodies treat both the customers and employees.
Most referral services for drug rehabs will pay you $1000-1500 if you agree to go to rehab for a set period of time, usually 2 weeks or less, whether you want treatment or not. Because they make $5000 per referral. They dont care about helping people.. also, detox centers will often force you to stay for 5-7 days, whether you actually need it or not, cuz they can charge insurance companies $2500 per day. Often they will try to put you on a ton of meds even if you dont need them cuz they get paid for each medication. Most rehab centers do way more scandalous highly illegal shit too. I worked for one rehab where they charged insurance companies for treatment using old client information and even employee information and handed clients handfuls of narcotics and just said dont get caught. They also use dirty doctors to prescribe narcotics for clients and themselves. Disgusting
3:47 this seems to be a recurring problem with businesses in general. Nearly all of them seem to prioritize short-term profitability to such an extent that it actually damages their long-term survival. It’s a corporate equivalent of a person diving off of a cliff to chase after $100 bill.
My recycling system for my area of Western upstate New York doesn't even recycle any plastic that isn't clear. I lie awake at night from 2 hand shame/guilt for all the plastic I throw away.
The speed limit thing for trains is something that got cracked down on in my town after a trainload of Anhydrous Ammonia wrecked, IIRC speed was a cause of the crash.
11:30 - So essentially rather than risk someone getting a game or shirt or controller that nobody wanted in the first place for free, the manager racked up time destroying merchandise?

People that work in the film industry usually work incredibly long hours to the point of exhaustion. One of the main cause of deaths apparently is falling asleep at the wheel and ending up in an accident. For years many have advocated for 12 hours workday. This is at least from what I’ve heard from more professional sets.
Recycling is a meme, sadly. In the past the absolute vast majority of our recycling was sold to China. China doesn't want it anymore, so into the landfill it goes. So we're pressured and sometimes threatened with fines to clean and separate, and then someone else has a job of going through it later and passing/failing it, it gets baled and... dumped into the same landfill as the original trash. My dad worked at one of the _only_ plants in the entire US that made paper from recycled paper. It ended up closing because it wasn't economically viable. Not "not profitable", not "the company only made enough profit off doing so that the CEO bought a Ferrari when he wanted a Bentley", the company actually lost so much money on it that it almost killed them.
When I worked fast food I'd write obscenities in condiments on the sandwiches of rude people; it was cathartic and didn't harm anyone. Also, there's a chain of stores in Arkansas I know of that actively encourages its employees to seek public assistance vs paying them a living wage; might be the case with other retailers, but I only know of this brand. Interesting to find out some new scams that unregulated capitalism is pulling on us, though... The world is fucked.

Monoprice is what it is today by selling reasonably priced HDMI cables. Even Walmart was selling HDMI cables for like $35 each. The joke is that, unlike vga cables, HDMI cables are digital, so there's no 'signal degradation' like occurs in analog cables, and they all have to pass the same HDMI bandwidth specs in order to use the 'HDMI' marking, regardless of their selling price. Overpriced HDMI cables were an outgrowth of the overpriced audio speaker cable industry (you know the ones - they have the same name as the energy drink.) Monoprice should send their over priced competitors Christmas cards every year for making their company possible - lol!

@@JGirDesu Yeah you're not gonna make a lot of money with graphic design unless you're really really good !BUT! look into UX design. If you can get a few years of graphic design under your belt then take a UX program, you should be in good shape. Learn some HTML and CSS while you're at it. Graphic designers have the best time transitioning to UX and you can make six figures in less than 10 years.
The thing is graphic designers are a dime a dozen and companies can afford to get cheaper. With UX design, it's a specialized field in the tech world so you make those tech bucks. Hell you might even be able to transition directly into UX if you look for web jobs.
They live anywhere in the vast majority of the world. Unless you live in a swampland, or some other place with extreme conditions, there is no need for sealed vaults, quite the contrary, there is strong incentive for coffins that would fall apart in matter of months. Most of Europe, for example, changed it's hygiene norms during the enlightenment era to move graveyards behind city/town/village limits in a place where the soil will ensure quick decomposition. Where I live in central Europe, a vault is considered weird, people would ask "Why do you need to rot differently?" and a corpse turns into just bones in about 10 years.
@@petrmaly9087 I don't see why vaults are necessary either. I just didn't realize other countries felt this way. I mean, obviously third world countries wouldn't. I have hea rd there is a way to be hurried in the U.S. now that fertilizer the soil with the decomposing body, which I think is great. Vaults are a waste of money.
@@kathymain578 Aren's normal graveyards in the USA "coffin in a soil" anyway? Arlington might be a good example, or other graveyards we commonly see in movies.
@@petrmaly9087 I don't think vaults are needed either, but you have to have one here in the US. I thi nk they are a waste myself. I would rather go back to the earth. As far as I know, there is always a vault around the coffin unless you're in a mosalium. (Sp) the exception is that there is a new thing where you can be hurried inside a tree and basically provide nutrients to the tree as you decompose. I don't know which states that's legal in tho.

Trucker here - transportation industry in general.
Intermodal (rail roads and shipyards) is mostly based on faith. Here's the standard scenario. A company receives an empty container. They fill it with their stuff, and then a driver takes it to the rail yard. It's loaded onto a train and taken across the country. Then it gets loaded onto a ship and taken across an ocean, where it is taken off the ship, and another truck takes it to its final destination to be unloaded. The empty container is then taken back to the rail road, or shipyard.
Now here's where things get interesting - or dicey, depending on how you look at it.

Really?? I'm in my final year of University for Graphic Design... can you elaborate/give advice? Now I'm concerned
@@JGirDesu Yeah you're not gonna make a lot of money with graphic design unless you're really really good !BUT! look into UX design. If you can get a few years of graphic design under your belt then take a UX program, you should be in good shape. Learn some HTML and CSS while you're at it.
Graphic designers have the best time transitioning to UX and you can make six figures in less than 10 years.
The thing is graphic designers are a dime a dozen and companies can afford to get cheaper. With UX design, it's a specialized field in the tech world so you make those tech bucks. Hell you might even be able to transition directly into UX if you look for web jobs.
@@leonel1982 Thank you for your advice! I guess my love for packaging design should be put on the sidelines lol
This is the first video I have ever seen with 0 dislikes. Wow
Where do people live where coffins aren't sealed in a vault? It illegal not to be.
They live anywhere in the vast majority of the world. Unless you live in a swampland, or some other place with extreme conditions, there is no need for sealed vaults, quite the contrary, there is strong incentive for coffins that would fall apart in matter of months. Most of Europe, for example, changed it's hygiene norms during the enlightenment era to move graveyards behind city/town/village limits in a place where the soil will ensure quick decomposition. Where I live in central Europe, a vault is considered weird, people would ask "Why do you need to rot differently?" and a corpse turns into just bones in about 10 years.
@@petrmaly9087 I don't see why vaults are necessary either. I just didn't realize other countries felt this way. I mean, obviously third world countries wouldn't. I have hea rd there is a way to be hurried in the U.S. now that fertilizer the soil with the decomposing body, which I think is great. Vaults are a waste of money.
@@kathymain578 Aren's normal graveyards in the USA "coffin in a soil" anyway? Arlington might be a good example, or other graveyards we commonly see in movies.
@@petrmaly9087 I don't think vaults are needed either, but you have to have one here in the US. I thi nk they are a waste myself. I would rather go back to the earth. As far as I know, there is always a vault around the coffin unless you're in a mosalium. (Sp) the exception is that there is a new thing where you can be hurried inside a tree and basically provide nutrients to the tree as you decompose. I don't know which states that's legal in tho.
