  • Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

    Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you’re the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

    Had been like that for years.

    Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

    I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

    Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

    He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn’t ending anytime soon.

    Didn’t care that I’d had a TL cover for me as we’d always done.

    Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

    I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.











  • But… it does have crumple zones.

    The entire front and rear castings are designed to shatter in a high energy collision and crumple.

    The size of a crumple zone isn’t as important as how it absorbs the energy and dispenses it.

    You could have a 20foot crumple zone that’s empty and it’s be useless.

    You can see it crumpled here. They’ve also posted a different video on the official X account of a crash test but I won’t post that to avoid linking them. here.

    Since you got something so utterly basic wrong and posted it as true, I can only assume the entire post is fabricated.

    Edit: took a screen shot instead of video. It crumples all the way past the front wheels
