Previous post I mentioned I reported a massive negligent OSHA violation situation to my management.
So horrendously ugly I decided to distance myself. Impending OSHA raid yada yada …
Sent email to HR stating that if they wanted any info from me extending beyond my initial report, well that’s gonna require a letter to me from the company stating that I am individually held harmless of any litigation that results from this situation.
Basically , this is your turd and you are all by your lonesome in this one . Someone likely doing jail time and that someone ain’t gonna be me .
After eye doc appt. HR and my manager met me at the door.
I’m “ unscheduled” AKA paid leave until they figure out how to deal with this.

Any action will result in me breaking one off in them so bad they will bleed out quick!
First call OSHA
Second call my retained attorney .
Third call channel 7 news.

So I left the office , drove directly to the boat dealer and picked up the ole “Wet Dream”

Ain’t she a beaut?

More pics to come. Got dark on me .

Definitely cover your butt, RE any OSHA violations.

She is Beautiful Ben. Black and Red , my favorite color combo (actually Red and Black). It looks like you have plenty of break-in time coming so have a blast.

Saw that’s a 150 Merc Pro XS.
This boat is advertised at 64 mph.
Real world Probly high 50s

I get nervous anything over 40 so probably won’t see a whole lot of use in the higher RPM range.

Where I fish , it’s rarely dead calm. High speed can beat your kidneys out of your back when it’s choppy.
I don’t feel safe going WOT in any kind of chop.

And I can’t remember the last time I caught a fish doing 65 mph.
Trolling I like to keep it around 1.3 to 1.7

I used to be a program manager.
I know for a fact that is a particularly ruthless occupation.

I’m in a situation where I’m trying to protect the company from itself.
And on the other side of the coin , if you didn’t want to hear the answer , why did you ask the question.

Thanks for the heads up.
Gotta go take care of my dearly departed father in laws boat tomorrow. Prior commitment. Promise I made a while back.
Reschedule would be awkward.
Sunday morning .
I’m throwing the UL in the boat.
After break in I’m going to a spot I know where they are and tossing a micro jig.
Any luck at all , my skillet will be hot Sunday night.
Wish me luck!!

Beautiful boat Ben! Looks like you’re going to have some time to break it in and get to know all about it. It sucks to have to go through this as you are trying to do the right thing! Take advantage of the PTO!
