That'd get you fired afaik.

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If your boss is a chill guy who can take a joke I'm sure he would laugh the first time but if you did this repeatedly then probably not

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 51 points 1 week ago (4 children)

At an oil refinery OSHA doesn't fuck about.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

This person would break the sound barrier on their way out. Mostly on account of the last smart guy trying this.

But if we get rid of OSHA, what's Mike Rowe going to hold for laughter and applause for after he says "ocean?"

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The tide goes in the tide goes out you can’t explain it

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes I can. Tide goes in because tide goes out.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Why are you arguing with me? I just explained it. Tide goes in because tide goes out.

Fuck it! We'll do it live!

Something something BP oil spill

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

They might fuck around a little bit.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not in anything Petrochemical. They rulebooks habe a very clear restriction on "anything that is, or appears to be" (a cigarette).

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Totally makes sense too. If the fake cigarettes are ok, chances are that someone doesn't get they are fake and uses a real one.

Besides, using a fake cigarette has no benefit for anyone, so there's no harm in banning these too if it makes policing the use of real ones easier.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If that's true, why do cigarettes contribute so heavily to explosions at Russian refineries, ammunition dumps, and field bases?

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Safety culture is for the weak, comrade. We die like men.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A friend of a friend worked at a plant where someone got fired for riding around on the provided bicycles with no hands and crashed.

Shit like this would also most certainly get you fired at any plant.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They get to ride bicycles at work?

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is a fairly common way to get around on various industrial sites when it's big enough.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe in Yurrup. America uses golf carts, those devices designed to avoid walking on nice days on perfectly manicured greens.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This seems on brand haha

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Adding addtional stress on top of an already stressfull enviroment for your own personal amusement is a dick move.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Working in oil tends to inherently select for people who don’t care at all about other people. If they did they wouldn’t make a career out of destroying the earth for every future human.

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I currently work in a shitty industry that argubly causes considerable social harm, the main reason being I need a job as do all my colleagues. Hate the game not the player.

[–] Kurroth@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nah I left immoral work and live in poverty..but at least I'm clean and honest

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Hope nothing bad happens to you to where you wish you had money and agency.

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I enjoy affording a place to live ¯\(ツ)

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

While there are many such people, there are also many workers who are just as exploited by capitalism as you, and are just getting by, or work for a company that does work for oil companies from time to time and you don't get to choose what projects you're on.

As with most things, it's capitalism that needs to end in order to have much chance of mitigating climate catastrophe.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Pious much?

My point: hope you never use transportation or have to use plastic. We’re all in this together.

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 20 points 1 week ago

Can't smoke a dart in there bud

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I like this guy.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

I work in an oil refinery

Not for long!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

David Mitchell gave up comedy TV for the refinery life?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

He's such a liar

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

People are going to think he smokes if he keeps it up! LOL! What an absolute goof! Thanks for sharing!

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

[–] CleoCommunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago
