given the scrutiny around Tesla, it’s interesting this story doesn’t seem to have come out sooner since this is a fairly novel workplace accident

    I’ve been a mechanical engineer for decades and they are right about this.

    What does you being a mechanical engineer have to do with anything? Are you a mechanical engineer at Tesla? Do you have evidence you’d like to provide to back up your claims?

    what you’re arguing is anti-labor

    What I’m arguing is pro-sense. Being objective and not making assumptions does not make me anti-labor. Jumping into the deep end and just piling on anyone accused of abuse with zero justification is a bad look and you’re shooting yourself if the foot when you do it.

    There is a profitable balance between productivity and safety

    Of course there is. So why are we just instantly assuming that they’re not walking it? That every accident is the result of management pressure and not employee negligence of safety protocols?

    Could very well be either/or but you and this other clown are the only ones making definitive statements without any evidence.

      Oh so your experience matters, but mine doesn’t? I’ve presented the same quality of evidence that you have. There isn’t a worse “look” than tirelessly arguing that labor is at fault for what we’re de facto forced to do.
