Meanwhile it would have cost $$ for both the downtime and repair cost to fix the issue before failure. Now that it failed it will cost $$$$$ to fix it as an emergency.
So guess what boss

Yeah but the top boss’s friend owns a manufacturing company, not a repair company, so this policy comes fro mthe top

Not to mention injury/death when the equipment catastrophically fails.
prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 month ago
True, but sometimes the cost to repair the thing is irrelevant when the required amount of “done” is what is time gated.

Heck of a story

Was able to find some more details - it’s the bucket of an RH340 excavator at the Poitrel coal mine in Australia, probably damaged while moving massive rocks about
The whole machine looks like this Image

Even with the door there that should indicate scale, that machine doesnt feel like its anywhere near as large as OPs picture.

Me too. I’ve worked extensively on open pit mines, and I’ve never seen anything like that in my time there.
I’m not an expert or even an equipment operator, but I’ve seen them break shit. Buckets are tough. One that big is very tough.

That would have been a fun noise.

Strange, it was built to very rigorous maritime engineering standards, which explicitly exclude materials like cardboard, paper, string, and cellophane.

What monster of a HYEX has a bucket and arm that big? That is an absolute unit.

Shortly after they fire you and tell you that you shouldn’t have done that. 🙃

Or even better, they have money to upgrade their perfectly working computers and chairs, but they don’t have the money to repair or change the tools you need to work.

Which is why you always get this sort of order in writing, from the boss. If they won’t send it, you send them an email saying something like “Thanks for taking the time to discuss this issue with me today. Just to confirm, you said I should <whatever>. I pointed out that this could lead to <consequenses>, but you stated I should continue anyway. Please let me know straight away if you don’t agree with that recollection.”

Good advice but what do you do in America? I’m not sure my boss can even write.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If they like you, they won’t fire you for any reason (almost), if they don’t like you, they find any reason to fire you.
Jobs are not held or lost on merit, for the most part.

Kinda. Had the CEO want some code changed while the VP of my department was on vacation. Changed the code, and the VP had a grudge against me afterwards because it was code he wrote. A year later a project failed (due to mismanagement) so it was blame game time and the devs got blamed and it was firing time. I didn’t work on the project that ended in failure, I was working on a different project which was a success.
Guess who got fired?
I guess technically it was because the VP didn’t like me. But the reason he didn’t like me is because I did my job and made the software work the way the CEO wanted it to work.
That’s just how she goes. Catch-22 scenarios happen no matter how likable you might be.
