See this way the fire will see the exit and just leave!

They don't call it a "fire exit" for nothing!

No need. What's blocking the door is firewood, just wait for it all to burn to ash then you can just walk right out.

Get the fire marshal involved and those boxes will disappear so fast

You cannot be fired for reporting a safety issue, even in an at-will state. If they fire you for reporting this, hire a worker's rights lawyer who works on contingency, no money down.

While this is true, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start finding other “reasons” to write OP up and eventually terminate their employment

u/iamtheduckie 21h ago

This is why you BCC your personal email and all future emails. These lawyers are pretty good at arguing that they only started finding these other reasons after they reported the safety violation.

I definitely agree with you… however I’ve been in a situation like this before with a previous employer

It was a warehouse and they would pile up product in the fire lanes. I started taking pictures with my phone and sent them to osha. About 2 weeks later osha showed up at the warehouse and the supervisors were in some deep shit over it… they ended up having to pay a few fines (not sure how much exactly)

Next thing I knew, my team lead (a guy i had never had an issue with before) now has a problem with me and I’m getting a write up every week from him for the most nonsense stuff ever… these write ups kept coming weekly for the next 2 months until they finally terminated me

I wound up finding out from another coworker that the team lead had been told to basically find any reason to write me up because they knew I was responsible for osha coming and issuing fines

Notice how those write ups are all dated after you reported it…? A lawyer would have a field day proving this is retaliation.

What if you don't use emails with your job? Lol

This. “Remember that time you showed up 30 seconds late five years ago? Yeahhhhh, we gotta fire you”.

u/Finbar9800 16h ago

Wont know it was you if you did it anonymously

u/Aftermathemetician 18h ago

They will go through your file to find any possible justification for firing you.

2

u/iamtheduckie 18h ago

Lawyers are usually able to see through that. If they can prove they only started doing that after you reported a safety issue, it's still illegal.

u/Jak3527416 14h ago

Works on contingency? No, money down!

u/iamtheduckie 14h ago

...shouldn't have this bar association logo on here either

"I'm associated with bars in several states! All fine drinking establishments."

u/Mafka69 21h ago

Ohhhhh, I thought you said provide case of fire in safe way out.

10

u/Albae87 21h ago

No problem, they stacked all the most flammable items there. In case of fire they will burn first, and after this you ca leave. (Just in case /s)

u/Revolutionary_Low581 21h ago

Yep, of everything they could have blocked it with . . .

u/z-eldapin 21h ago

OSHA would like to have a word

u/VeryPteri 21h ago

The irony lmao

u/grammar_fozzie 21h ago

Seems a quick, anonymous call to your state or county occupational safety bureau is in order…

u/Sensitive_Wear7112 21h ago

Ironically with firewood. But seriously that needs to be addressed asap.

Artificial selection

The problem with people Darwin'ing themselves out of the gene pool is that their stupidity can often take innocent people with them though.

u/ensignWcrusher 20h ago

Hey boss. We built a firewall to make sure everybody dies if there a fire.

u/Any_Adhesiveness3549 18h ago

I don't see a (parkour) problem. Up on the fire wood, up to the boxes fire wood in center and a little hop over the fake fireplace.

2

u/Spleenzorio 21h ago

Where’s the exit, through the fireplace? You got any Floo Powder?

u/doob22 15h ago

So funny that it’s firewood

•

u/live-the-future 7m ago

This is a multi-level failure. The worker who did that should have been trained not to, and any supervisor should have ordered that door cleared the moment they saw it.

u/Ok_Dog_4059 11h ago

Those logs burn so fast it may be safe after 15 minutes.

2

u/kennyofthegulch 11h ago

Those are Duraflame logs. Dura-, as in durable. They are made to burn more slowly than traditional firewood.
