      Good punishment. If you don’t consider this extremely dangerous you shouldn’t really be allowed to operate any machine bigger than a lego set.

      In the U.S. you might lose your job if you don’t. One missed alarm.

      Good luck.

        Yeah but the US is fucked when it comes to the working situation and workers rights.

          Sure. Though that doesn’t change the shittiness at all. It just represents the issue the loudest, and one that occurs in more places than just the U.S.: Abysmal working conditions and shitty bosses. Forgive me for pointing out something I think everyone already understands, though we are part of a global economy. To create effective change we should also act as a global force to promote those changes.

          In a perfect world, at least. Sadly, problems on our own doorstep takes away a lot of energy to do just that.

        I legitimately cannot imagine a scenario where you have time to clear this eye hole, but don’t have another 30s to clear the rest of the windshield. It’s pure laziness, regardless of how exploited your surplus labor might be.

          You DONT have time to clear that eye hole

          It’s done as you pull out, that’s why it looks suddenly wiped with your sleeve!

          Having been this person, I can assure you it’s not laziness. Sometimes you really are that late, and 30 sec can be the difference between going through traffic lights or hitting a red light. It could be the difference between being in front of or behind a school bus on a one lane road.

        But if you hit oncoming traffic you’ll still be late for work and also potentially kill someone and end up incarcerated for vehicular manslaughter.

          We’re doing that thing where we blame the person and not the system that provokes these choices. Statistically, a significant number of people in the U.S. are living paycheck-to-paycheck. To them their life almost literally depends on making it to work. I am not saying it isn’t stupid and dangerous. I am saying that being a few minutes late for safety shouldn’t decide if you get to eat that week. It should, by any reasonable account, be requested to make up. Not placed on some arbitrary point system or lofted lazily over the person’s head as a form of control.

            Just to add on to what you are saying, around 62 percent of us live paycheck to paycheck. On top of that, we have at-will employment laws in most states, that allow an employer to fire a non-union employee for any reason they want, as long as they don’t violate federal labor laws. It’s also easy for employers to make up a reason for termination, even if they are violating said labor laws.

            We need to unionize and get some power to the workers back in this country. People won’t do this kind of thing nearly as often if their livelihood isn’t at risk of being taken away.
