Is your site currently losing about 1/3 of it's area to an outside company who bought a division and the apparently completely sane plan is to seperate off that area and duplicate prexisting structures (HR, Warehouse, Quality) for the new company?

But yeah Patient safety comes first. As long as the lines don't go down. Or too slow. Or don't get stopped from speeding up at the planned rate.

For a business where the FDA WILL show up unannounced and audit, we sure do love to push back against quality.

We're making medical product, and are 13485 and 9001 regulated. It's concerning the number of times I've had to fight with supervisors because I deemed it important to loop Quality in on my changes and made a task take longer and they didn't agree with the choice.

As a manufacturing engineer, I'm mostly in an office when I'm not actively dicking about on the production floor or talking with my production operators. Most of my desk time is

1. Answering questions from people who aren't me about my manufacturing lines: specifications, output, inputs, could I do experiment XYZ if they sent me info. Subject Matter Expert is the term the company uses. Debatable if it's accurate, but it's the expectation.
2. Answering stupid questions for people who could absolutely open an app or walk and look in person but would rather be handed the info.
3. Collaboration with other employees: be it Quality as to what hoops I need to jump through to do something, providing process data relevant to a manufacturing defect they were alerted to, pestering other engineers to see if they've done anything like what I'm up to because it's a good shortcut, or trying to work out how to use a system I'm unfamiliar with.
4. Tracking output metrics: Management loves the same numbers tracked 5 different ways and having them reported to them constantly.
5. Meeting prep: either making a slideshow, crunching data to present, updating a project tracker (see above), or reading all the relevant emails associated with the meeting because earlier I super just skimmed them for anything I was required to do urgently. 7: Tinkering on things at my desk: familiarizing myself with new equipment/parts, testing an idea out of scraps/easily sourced parts before I ask our Tool and Die team to draw up a design for something sturdier/more expensive, or rooting through boxes for things I inherited relevant to that manufacturing line when I was assigned to it.
6. Messaging folks on teams: lunch plans, thoughts on recent events, or even just sending memes, gifs, ASCII middle fingers to people I like. General screwing around.

That's partly because they fail to market it well. Meat alternatives never taste the same. Trying to replace beef or pork or chicken will always fail to entice people that already enjoy meat.

It's better described as a new meat with new recipe/cooking requirements. You wouldn't complain about how much the assumed pork ribs didn't taste right if I told you they were beef ribs. You'd agree, because you wouldn't expect them to taste the same.

Huh We use a brand of these at work to aseptically sample from 50gal drums of drug product. Never really thought of using them for gas.

Do they plant the evidence on him in the McDonald's, or is it just in a bag at the station and it's "found on him" when they search him there? Planting it publicly seems hard. Would have to give every officer a bag of "evidence" or know who was going to respond to the call. Besides the whole not getting seen planting it by the public.

I'll agree someone saying they are are a girl/boy or trans isn't sexual. Gender isn't inherently sexual. Someone being gay/straight feels like it's absolutely sexual. Implied with the"sexual" in homo or heterosexual. You could have nonsexual gay/straight thoughts/feelings I guess, but those are just feelings. Like, ANYONE is allowed to have them regardless of orientation, and honestly sounds like it's bordering on asexual. Do you have a learning example for that line of thought? Before any angry blowback: I'm not trying to be a dick about this. As far as my understanding of this goes, I don't follow that comment.

For manufacturing I've taken to using spelled out numbers when quantities and names both use numbers. Four 4s rather than 4 4s. Makes it harder for someone to speed through an email and get the completey wrong information.

I am over 6ft and my 2013 Kia Soul fits me easily. It's actually impressive, given how small the Kia is. Probably means the walls are ridiculously thin

Depends on the company and plant. Not to brag on my Corporate overloads as they've gaslit employees and poisoned the global water supply, but they do a good job of making production's life tolerable enough (above average pay for the area, regular Kaizens for them to voice their opinions, good safety culture, keeping up 5s) that people want to work for them.

Is there not one? Seems like I, a person, can't just publicly use a song for my own gains if an artist really wanted to stop me. A politician, also a person (albeit a wealthy one) is still targetable by the artist right.

Like sure, rich asshole just gets a slap on the wrist fine and it gives their lawyers more more to do. But there is a law about this right?

Production operator with IBS pooped on the floor in a clean room. Kinda ick, and they had to call the spill team to clean up the hazard, but not really the employees fault and no one is really upset. Later, IBS employee is elsewhere, more poop is found on the floor. No one comes forward. No one is identified. Management puts out a "Please use the bathrooms" email and calls it a day.
