This is a perfect example of "Not My Job" at work.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, "Yes, that's part of your job."

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

You make the assumption that the company pays them well or treats them like human beings, rather than gaslighting them into accepting minimal pay, thus supporting the fiefdom of the C-Suite.

No Pay, No Work. Minimal Pay, Substandard Work. Victims fight back against their abusers in passive ways at first. Consider this picture as such.

I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren't paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to bother worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They're all shifted down by one

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 41 points 3 days ago (1 children)

From the top, #2 and #4 are in the correct positions.

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

This is the way.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Let's say your job is to check whatever is under those lids. How do you best mark it as having been done so you don't re-open the same panel multiple times?

[–] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 12 points 3 days ago

Open all of them... Only place cover back when you're done.

Your loop condition fails the next street where there's a round hole without a distinguishable pattern

Chalk

  • rain washes it off after a few weeks
  • only have to open one at a time instead of 2+

You'd have to be pretty dumb to not be able to keep track of 6 lids in a line.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If this is your job, you aren't tracking 6 lids, you're tracking all the lids, probably in an entire section of the city. Possibly hundreds. Being able to look at a glance and see if you've already done it is clutch.

Next time it's time for a check, you put them back on the right way.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

If your job is to check hundreds, you'd keep track of the roads you've checked. There's no need to keep track of each individual spot.

Nah, they just couldn't be bothered with putting things back in the proper order, they're union workers and it's almost quitting time because OT isn't getting paid.
