Several People Are Crying At Their Desk - werkgeversreview Engineer bij Nipsco

I witnessed two union employees crying at their desk because they were overwhelmed from the high stress due to mountains of files that were expected to be filed. The staff is rushed to process high level engineering documents and plans for major government projects. The management is good at paying lip service to safety but when it comes down to spending unplanned money human life becomes expendable. A supervisor would not replace a widow maker electric pole because the budget didn't permit it and became upset when the union workers found the unsafe practice abhorrent. Designs methods espoused by the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) were discounted by the same manager when calculating buoyancy of a pipe. Conformity to antiquated company standards were consider more important than changing.
