One of the many jobs I had in the past involved such gross violations of health and safety codes that my own immediate boss threatened to write me up on the first day because I was "going too slow" and actually following safety procedures. He demonstrated the "correct" way to do the job (blatantly skipping the safety procedures that I had just learned in training all the while) and said I needed to reconsider my priorities or quit.
I quit.
The job was at a hospital. I was working with contact hazard and breathing hazard critical care patients.
This guy should be reported and fired, that's really fucked up.
I was a young, ignorant, and vulnerable college 20something at the time and by the time I knew my rights a lot of windows of (provable) rules violations getting punished had come and gone.
