As the parent to a 5 year old, I feel this sooooo much.
I'm having to change my "just-a-second", as she takes it literally - a second is counted. I now say just-a-minute. Frozen got it bang on when Anna says "just give us a minute " and you can hear Olaf quietly start counting to 60.
This is one of those incidents that is infuriating for the parents when it happens, but will then end up being a story that they cherish and keep telling everyone they can for a long time.
This is why a paper trail is so important. When shit hits the fan they will always try to blame you, so you need written or audio proof that they issued the order.
Personally i would've also gotten him on audio recording saying it, and then emailed that audio recording to myself through gmail to prove the time stamp of it was before you did the action. Also it would be good to take a picture of the work log and gmail it to yourself too. When records like work logs and corporate emails are in the hands of the company, they sometimes "disappear" when it would prove them wrong and you right.
Holy smokes this is basically the premise for Chernobyl but with a coffee shop. Great idea getting them to sign and date the work order! Can’t argue their way out of that one.
I wouldn’t say that at all. Chernobyl was so much worse than this. It wasn’t a single first line supervisor who asked one worker to do something who said no at first.
They’d asked multiple nuclear plants to perform that test. Been told that it was not safe to perform multiple times. They finally got an upper management individual at one plant to agree to it. Then they had challenges completing the test and due to plant characteristics that were not apparent to the operators (as well as violating other procedures) the event occurred.
The premise of chernobyl is a series of systemic failures of barriers. Not an addition of a single step not specified in a maintenence procedure.
