factory I worked at, I snapped a bearing rod on an injection machine.
it was made of steel, about 16 inches in diameter, about 18ft long, and cost around $1.5 million to replace.
complete accident, required a mandatory one week off (no pay) while they investigated if it was due to negligence or just routine wear and tear.
it took them six months to get a new one and cost the company close to $100 million on lost revenue on top of the cost of the part.
Mandatory week off with no pay. Bummer. Pretty sure that's illegal in my country.
probably is if you live somewhere with workers rights and a pro "human" government.
I live in one where corporations get more rights and support than the homeless.
Did you keep your job after that?
I did. I was a good employee, worked hard, and was well liked. it was also found that there was a flaw in the rod that caused it to fail.
Ah, so you were the poor bastard it broke on. Well, I'm glad they recognized you and didn't reactionary fire you for it.
