Only once did I ever fire someone u201con the spot.u201d I was a manager at a large law firm, and had an employee who thought she could get away with anything. Letu2019s call her Sue.Because we were dealing with a massive litigation case at the time, we had mandatory overtime. In fact, employees were required to be there from 8am until midnight six days a week. They were well compensated for this, including meals being reimbursed up to $20 for lunch and $30 for dinner, every day, and overtime being paid at 3x base salary instead of 1.5x, because of the massive amount of time required. Additionally, for every 2 weeks worked, 8 hours of paid time off were applied to their pot, for as long as they remained with the firm. (That is, if they resigned or were terminated, that accrued time was forfeited, as a way to keep the employees motivated and honest.) During this time, however, they were PROHIBITED from taking any time off for about a 9 month period, except for verifiable emergencies, the employee was required to bring a doctor note, ER discharge, something verifying the u201cemergency,u201d beyond just word of mouth.Sue took as much time in breaks, as she spent time working (literally, every 30 minutes she was off for another one for 15 minutes. Like clockwork.) Because of the hours, employees were granted 15 minutes every 2 hours without any approval u2023 they just needed to notify a leader that they would be away for a few minutes. If they needed more breaks due to a medical issue, they could request them with proper documentation. Since there is no u201cmedical needu201d to smoke, she couldnu2019t even try this.Approved lunch was one hour and was PAID. By the end of that 60th minute, employees were expected to be back at their desk, ready to start again. Sue believed she had some seniority privilege that would allow her more time. She believed she could come back, then go for another smoke break.For dinner, also one hour but UNPAID, she did the same thing, somehow thinking that she was eligible for her u201cnextu201d break the moment she returned to her desk, all the while not realizing that she had already taken more breaks than were approved.Well, Sue liked her time off. Right before the Christmas holiday the year she was fired, she decided to call in sick. This was also pay day. She called off sick, then waltzed in to pick up her check. I had to politely tell her that since she was not u201cat work,u201d she could not pick her check up until the next work day. (Perfectly legal, since she called off u201csick.u201d) So, I advised her she is u201cunder review,u201d and she must pass her performance review in order to receive her annual bonus and raise, and that if she did not pass this review, she would be on probation, and could be terminated for even the slightest of things. (*Note: I would not be the person evaluating her for the performance review u2023 that would have been a manager of another department. Just for neutrality, we did not review our own employees. However, if it was a review precipitated by some action, managers COULD direct what were to occur based on the results of the review.)Well, Sue went all Sybil on this. I thought her head was literally going to start spinning and spewing green stuff she was so furious and demonic in her statements. She then began threatening me, that I u201cdidnu2019t know who I was screwing with.u201d She then used a couple of pejoratives that brought the situation to a climax. I went into my office, notified my supervisor, HR, and security, and then told her she was terminated, effective immediately.She actually had the gall at this point to demand pay for her accrued time. Needless to say, we reminded her of her contract and that the accrued time was forfeited if terminated.She attempted to sue both me and the firm over this, citing wrongful termination, discrimination, and sexual harassment, but needless to say, suing a law firm, especially pro se, is a tough feat. By the time it went to court, we had documented all of her breaks that she put in to be paid for, her excessive time on meal breaks, and filed a countersuit. We found that she was paid $30,000 in time not worked. (Employees were being paid $22 per hour, and $55 for OT.) In short, she got smacked with a judgment of $75,000, after court costs and attorney fees.A month later, she was in a major car accident and was paralyzed. The firm chose to waive the judgment out of kindness and compassion.

This information is now freely available online since the 2023 disclosure about a Tyler, TX Foundry w/ repeat violations.Below is the link to the worst safety violators:Naming names: u201cThe Dirty Dozenu201d IDs the worst safety violatorsMore interesting is OSHA now has to disclose the injury rate which resulted from the violation.OSHA Ordered to Disclose Injury Rates of Worst OffendersThe link below is insightful. In announcing that incident rates are posted online, the piece also speaks to why people should want to know this information. A competitor for example.OSHA Incident Rate for Individual Companies Now Posted OnlineWith respect to the second part of your question u201cis it possible to beat their recordu201d. I donu2019t know enough about OSHA to say how bad a record a company could have and still be allowed to operate.I suspect there is some element of trip wiring into the system where, after a certain amount of violations, the company is penalized or closed down. But I donu2019t know for sure. However, if such a system exists, then there is a limit as to the probability of beating a violators record.Thanks for the A2A. Hope this information is useful to you. enjoy your evening.P.S.: Stock investors who own refineries, manufacturers, transports, etc. A companies OSHA record is a good indication of how well a company is run. Just a thought.

I live in Germany. I got an invite to the Quora partner program the day I landed in USA for a business trip. So from what I understand, irrespective of the number of views on your answers, there is some additional eligibility criteria for you to even get an email invite.If you read the terms of service, point 1 states:Eligibility. You must be located in the United States to participate in this Program. If you are a Quora employee, you are eligible to participate and earn up to a maximum of $200 USD a month. You also agree to be bound by the Platform Terms (https://www.quora.com/about/tos) as a condition of participation.Again, if you check the FAQ section:How can other people I know .participate?The program is invite-only at this time, but we intend to open it up to more people as time goes on.So my guess is that Quora is currently targeting people based out of USA, who are active on Quora, may or may not be answering questions frequently ( I have not answered questions frequently in the past year or so) and have a certain number of consistent answer views.Edit 1: Thanks to @Anita Scotch, I got to know that the Quora partner program is now available for other countries too. Copying Anutau2019s comment here:If you reside in one of the Countries, The Quora Partner Program is active in, you are eligible to participate in the program.u201d ( I read more will be added, at some point, but here are the countries, currently eligible at this writing,) U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy and Australia.11/14/2018Edit 2 : Here is the latest list of countries with 3 new additions eligible for the Quora Partner program:U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, India and Brazil.Thanks to Monoswita Rez for informing me about this update.
