I actually worked for a company that tried some crap like that. We worked in a freezer and the wool glove liners wore out pretty fast. I don't think they paid for some stupid test but they started saying we where using too many gloves and started rationing them. One of the guys got frost bite on his fingers from the wool wearing too thin, he went on workmans comp for almost 6 months and the conpany had to pay for skin grafts on his fingers. And yes he also sued and big shocker won a pretty sizable lawsuit over them being stingy about $5 for a whole case wool glove liners, that whole thing cost them more than they spent in liners for probably 20 years because there where only like 12 of us maybe 15 if you include the day shift receiving.
"these industrial engineers are very highly skilled" 😅 heard that one before. A lot of the time these "skilled engineers" are 24 year old kids fresh out of mechanical engineering degrees who have zero practical experience
Spent 19k on engineers to determine how many gloves to supply to 12 people for a year? And found that 24 pairs in total is all the crew needs? Those are some mighty expensive gloves you just bought yourself. Even if you got ripped off and bought $100 gloves and replaced them every 6 weeks like your employee said, that would be $10,400. Management spent $19,000 just for the study, haven't even bought any gloves yet. How's that data for you? I just made sure your bonus is $9000 more. You're welcome!
And ignored the fact that a 12 hour day is 50% longer than the 8 hour day they were basing their calculations on. So those gloves are getting closer to 9 months worth of wear and tear in 6 months. Or to put it another way they're only going to last about 3 months if we believe what the manager is saying.
@@elementalist1984And anyone who has used high quality gloves knows you might get a month or 2 out of them because you can’t simulate real world wear and tear.
I would go to prison if I had someone like this over me this is beyond ridiculous, it's insulting to the workers! Wtf is wrong with construction companies?
@@ZeranZeranit's not just the construction industry I assure you. I worked on the railroad for quite awhile and experienced this ridiculous crap regularly.
@@Mojo32not even in manual labor. I think we all know at least one or two people who are in upper/middle management who do absolutely nothing all day but tell off lower employees to start/stop doing XYZ so they can maximize the manager bonus 😅

Here in the UK most town, many street names are named that for a reason. For example, Manchester Road, would be the road that goes to Manchester. Some of these street names could be based on hundreds of years of history, for example streets called for example River Gate, would be the river side gate entrance to the town when towns used to be walled in. Market Street could have been called that for hundreds of years because it was where the market naturally built up in the town. About 30 years ago, my town went through a revamp, changing from a traditional northern market town to something more modern with small mall type of shopping. Well that modern type of shopping had also ended, so my town is going through another revamp. As most big brands are bought online they want to return to the traditional type of shopping, with smaller bespoke local shops cantered around a thriving market. They paid a company to workout the best place the dying market in the hope of revamping it. After 2 years of study, £400,000 ($500,000) in cost, using all the latest population flow algorithms, the study had concluded that the best location for market to be located is......... Market Street.
Yeah, the thing about traditional city planning and urban design is that it isn't dependent on big box bullshit to keep afloat. The US is feeling the pain from being overdependent on the suburban mall model, but getting it to change is like pulling teeth out. Meanwhile countries that want to look modern are copying the worst aspects of American urbanism, like Dubai's awful, awful design being an obvious externalized dick measuring context between the Saudis and foreign investors without any real investment to sustainable infrastructure. They build skyscrapers before they build sewage pipes for fucks sake. But there is something to be said of air conditioned malls in South East Asia countries because of how fucking hot it is, but hopefully those malls are in city centers and work to enable local business than kill it, although that's probably hoping too much.
I remember a company I worked for some 19 years ago, that had a secretary that literally tried to charge me 5 dollars for a pair of gloves, when the job absolutely required them. Some life POS.
Before Trump you could deduct tools and safety equipment on your taxes. Even if the company didn't buy them you could get some benefit. I bought 3 pairs of Red Wing boots a year but that was a long time ago so it was something. I worked for a company where the owner would give you a Estwing hammer if yours looked bad and Klein plyers too. Smaller companies try harder to keep employees happy. I worked for a huge company that would hand out tools just to keep people working but that was up to the foreman and mine was a good guy.
I understand that it seems hilariously ironic to talk about the CEO skydiving. I imagine it's still less statistically dangerous than working construction every day. Skydiving is just more thrilling lol.
Everytime I want a new pair of gloves or safety glasses my boss has a fit about how we can't afford to be using so many of them. The gloves they provide are lucky to last a week before they're full of holes and we've had the same 20 count box of glasses for 3 months because people don't get new glasses often. According to Forbes the company I work for had $6.3b in revenue last year. My location boasted record profits, not revenue, last year of over $1m. I know that because we had a whole meeting about it. The boss got a really good bonus for our hard work and everything.
Love the way this guy basically calls out the majority of bosses out there. They have no problem spends thousands of dollars on stupid shit but can never hand out raises

Quick math: 19,000 ÷ 12 = $1,583 1,583 ÷ (52/6) = $197 Average cost of work gloves I see for metal workers is $50-80. This is the kind of math that managers do not do.

As someone who works in Safety this shit makes my blood boil. Gloves are DIRT CHEAP and PPE isnt a suggestion its required by OSHA. On average a WC claim costs companies 15K. More than half WC can be avoided with good quality PPE
EMPLOYEE! You're not working hard enough for my bonus!...I mean our quota! Don't make us start charging you for your unpaid lunch breaks! (Ya Steve, grab your boat, meet you in 20 at the riverhouse..)
everywhere I have worked has been super strict about gloves LOL. But I recently paid a bill where gloves were a consumable and I was shocked at how many welders go thru.
and usually the gloves they give you are garbage. we'd tape the crap out of them and make sure every time they took some "investors" on a walk-through they'd see us re-taping the gloves.
The only defense for management in this situation is that they are dealing with upper management, investors, share holders, the actual owners. Those people know even less about the actual work and get even more defensive if you question their decisions, and importantly have a lot more power. You talk back to some rich guy and later learn he owns 47% of the company, you will likely hear about layoffs a week later.
Well, of course. Gloves are a cost that shows up on the factory report. Outsourcing a study isn't. It doesn't matter that it makes negative financial sense. I hate the cost center mentality.
The gloves thing reminds me of a Spicy Factory I was working at for my first legit job in 2013. It was awful because I asked for gloves and the Supervisor would get PISSED if I'd ask for more like "Why do you need more? I just gave you some the other day!" since he doesn't work on the floor. I was dealing with fucking Chili Powder and it was awful, my hands were turning red and breaking out from the amount of heat that the constant flow of Chili Powder was bringing. If you washed your hands, you'd be in severe burning and stinging pain for hours because that shit seeped into your pores and would stick in your skin for months at a time. I was there a whole month before I was taken out on workers comp because I twisted something in my back trying to take a pallet off of a stack, they fired me because I was injured and couldn't work.
I would have slipped an extra amount in their bottles that you see them carry around all over the place because they can get away with that, but you can't.
The key thing to always remember is some one in executive positions get paid lots of money to come up with idea's. They don't have to be good idea's, just an idea of how to save the company money. I've worked with companies that wanted to save a tenth of a cent on trash bags, so we only single bagged trash cans. Ignoring how often they broke and the extra labor in the clean up. Also had them cut hours to save money, but then also want to increase orders filled. My absolute favorite thought was a week long series of hour long lectures about efficiency that put the entire place behind it's quota's.
Sheet...I almost dropped my phone when he mentioned Concentra, what a joke, half ass medical clinic 😒 that employers bought into those places are small potatoes as band aid station before employee goes to private Prmary care physician to file worker's compensation claim
Damn they fuck you that bad on the other side of the pond as well? Guess bosses of all stripes and nationalities speak the same language, profitable bullshit.
$19,000 divided by 12 workers is $1583.33. You could’ve given each person working there a bonus of $1500 and pocketed $1000. Hell you could’ve even paid the bonuses with that much money. The dumbest part is this is 100% accurate for how companies work.
This is like a company I worked for that thought they were spending too much on razor blades so they bought those cheap ass safety box cutters you use like 3 or 4 times and they become too dull to do anything so they had to buy multiple orders of them a week until they went back to just buying blades
"We hired an industrial engineer to measure exactly how many man-hours these gloves are good for." "The engineers cost 19K dollars for this test" As an industrial engineer i can confirm i won't be telling management how stupid their little idea is.
And no more than 2 earplugs per week. If yall earplugs are gettin too dirty to wear by the end of the week, I suggest you take more showers. Them shits is expensive.
Fuck at least you're getting gloves at all. We work with Granite and pavers and those shred Gloves Is quick. And boss Man Stopped letting us get any And we We're not Is even abuse It at all. We would all use them Until half our hand was sticking out Which translated into about Two pairs A year when we really Is needed 4 pairs
I worked for a company that made you return your worn out gloves to get new ones and if you didn’t have any gloves to return they would charge you 8 dollars.
To load a truck you need a 40-60mins doing job alone . Moving pallets with goods from -18c to truck and job provides half rubber half polester gloves that got 0 ventilation at 15mins of work your palms freeze inside glove . Told company owner about it and he said " this is expensive well tested gloves ". Told him local small store sells those gloves for 99cents he shut off real fast.
The gloves that don't breathe aren't worth the material they're shat out with. I never knew my hands could smell like unwashed sweaty feet but I learned something new that day, never buy cheap gloves from the swapmeet cuz it ain't worth it.
Just remember you are the one making "Them" money not the other way around, so dont be shy to promote yourself and tell em give me what I want so I can work properly or just leave, it costs them time and money to fill in your spot, and hopefully the snowball keeps rolling. You can never spoil your workers to much really they are your foundation.
Or work with the workers around you to organize and collectively bargain for your rights, or at the very least to force management to pull the head out their ass for a cool minute.
My company just paid a guy $2500 to do work on Saturday because i refuse unless i get on call pay like the electricians (i am millwright) they spend more on a guy coming in then how much on call pay is
Asked my boss for new gloves 🧤 one time. He said what I did with the ones a week and a half ago. I told him I moved my hands a lot and made friction and they got holes in them and don’t exist anymore.
Used to work warehouse/logistics that was so ghetto they didn't even have that roller stick for the plastic roll. Yknow, the thing that you use because it's faster and means less injuries. Anyway, we didn't have that shit so you had to use your hands. But if you used your bare hands the inner cardboard roll would basically sand your skin off! So naturally you used gloved hands to wrap the pallets up for outbound. However we also start getting complaints about this excessive glove usage, despite the company consistently failing to either spring for the right tools or think through the nature of the job. Next warehouse I go to has its own issues, but they had those fucking roller sticks. Miraculously, my gloves seemed to have lasted much longer there.
I worked in a mill when I was 15 pulling lumber. Like, 99 - 2000. We used these yellow wool gloves with rubber Chris crosses on em…they’d get chewwwwwwed up so quick. They started making us bring our gloves up to the foreman’s office to show him we needed new ones. Cutters never stop. You’d run up there to convince the foreman you needed new gloves and come back to a hugggge pile of lumber …it was a sh;t show. Eventually they had guys conspiring with the millwright on heists to get us gloves on the floor so we could switch up when we needed em.
I'm a scaffolder gloves we use can last you 6- 10 weeks or 2 weeks depending on want we are doing thank good they provide them to us with no questions asked unless you need a new pair every other day
I have seen this before. Company I worked for paid efficiency engineers to come up with a way to save money. Their ideas were common sense. Ideas that were pretty much already in practice. The cost is astronimical.
lol I sat in a meeting we were discussing if we should send out our safety glasses of cleaning or if we should buy new each time. There was 6 of us in the meeting. About 10 minutes minutes into it the supervisor said. "How much is this meeting costing? Cause I bought a case of 144 glasses 2-1/2 years ago and I still have 25 pairs left. That is less than $40 per year in costs. How much do you think you can save?" Meeting was over pretty quickly after that.
What's sad is this is probably based on reality. I work a city job and pretty much it's the same. My department was 21 people 11 years ago and now we are finally getting up to 9 after being at 6 for over 2 years. More work for less people means more money in manager's pockets.
Love it just Love it iam old school I have paid for my stuff my whole life because of cheezy employers waisting money on pencil pushers and a break room the welder
Lmfao wow. Even with how greedy my last company's management team was, we ALWAYS had a fully stocked Fastenal vending machine. Just enter your code and grab gloves, drill bits, bolts, etc. I hated my last place, but if I worked in a place like THIS it would mysteriously go up in flames one day ☠️
I can sorta understand this mentality. We had a guy a work who got a new pair of gloves everyday. He threw the other pair away. The cloves cost 30 dollars each. I normally wore a pair out in 4 to 5 moths.
Why would you base your study off of faulty data though? If you know that your employees are working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week the why would you base your study off of the assumption of an 8 hour day 5 days a week?
My company ordered these vending machines and put the gloves, safety glasses and everything else needed and only leads and supervisors can "order" from them. I work In a manufacturing plant and I work with various chemicals daily and have to deal with these damn machines multiple times a day. All as an attempt to save money on gloves, safety glasses and everything else. I'm a lead and I'm only allow to get TWO packs of gloves for my crww of 8 guys to last for 12 hours a day. The metal parts rip those cheap ass cloth gloves up In 10 minutes tops. Greedy bastards. 😂😂😂😂
Bossman and safty man learned the hardway not to skimp out on gloves when a guy sliced his hand handling barbwire. Anybody who has worked with barbwire knows gloves doesnt last long
our company has unlimited PPE budget, if you need new equipment it's much more cheaper than having paying for injuries, lost work day injuries, osha fines, etc.
Worked at a place that made you turn in the old ones to get new ones……..they found out that some guys (me) can wear out a pair of gloves in days …..I worked on our pallets sorting lines for 2-4 days out of a 6 day week sometimes….and we were working 10’s during the summer months…….
im a meat cutter atm and you wouldnt believe the amount of managers that will walk in the meat room and go "how come so and so isnt wearing their cut resistant gloves?' Oh because those things suck and they dont work, the knife goes right through them, "ok well its company policy that they need to wear them" Ok well buy us some chainmail cutting gloves and we will do that but atm the moment there isnt a point and wearing something that wont protect you' "oh well those metal gloves arent in the budget" , I dont know what to tell you then, sorry. this happens almost every time.

I was there a whole month before I was taken out on workers comp because I twisted something in my back trying to take a pallet off of a stack, they fired me because I was injured and couldn't work.
Your company can't fire you for an injury you got at work. Something doesn't add up. If they did, you should sue them.
They cannot legally fire you for getting injured and taking time off to recover on doctors orders.
Doctors are god in that regard
I would have slipped an extra amount in their bottles that you see them carry around all over the place because they can get away with that, but you can't.
Need that morning wood shirt
Love that shirt! Morning wood! 😂
Been in this situation with a company before. They screwed over employees because they didnt want to admit they wasted money on their study.
The key thing to always remember is some one in executive positions get paid lots of money to come up with idea's. They don't have to be good idea's, just an idea of how to save the company money. I've worked with companies that wanted to save a tenth of a cent on trash bags, so we only single bagged trash cans. Ignoring how often they broke and the extra labor in the clean up. Also had them cut hours to save money, but then also want to increase orders filled.
My absolute favorite thought was a week long series of hour long lectures about efficiency that put the entire place behind it's quota's.
Sheet...I almost dropped my phone when he mentioned Concentra, what a joke, half ass medical clinic 😒 that employers bought into those places are small potatoes as band aid station before employee goes to private Prmary care physician to file worker's compensation claim
Next stop.. wc paper being most thinnest material human kind ever figured out.
Damn they fuck you that bad on the other side of the pond as well? Guess bosses of all stripes and nationalities speak the same language, profitable bullshit.
You get gloves, damn I have to buy my own gloves
$19,000 divided by 12 workers is $1583.33. You could’ve given each person working there a bonus of $1500 and pocketed $1000. Hell you could’ve even paid the bonuses with that much money. The dumbest part is this is 100% accurate for how companies work.
This is like a company I worked for that thought they were spending too much on razor blades so they bought those cheap ass safety box cutters you use like 3 or 4 times and they become too dull to do anything so they had to buy multiple orders of them a week until they went back to just buying blades
I saw this in my yt shorts. Good stuff. Saw the link, here I am. I'll try subscribing.
Y’all got gloves…We’ve been using sandwich bags as gloves
Lolololol
"We hired an industrial engineer to measure exactly how many man-hours these gloves are good for."
"The engineers cost 19K dollars for this test"
As an industrial engineer i can confirm i won't be telling management how stupid their little idea is.
When that lil piece of paper out weighs common sense😢😂
12$ would have gotten these nuts on you chin boss man
Good videos man. I love it. I'm watching. Let em flow
And no more than 2 earplugs per week. If yall earplugs are gettin too dirty to wear by the end of the week, I suggest you take more showers. Them shits is expensive.
😂😂😂😂 make a part 2 Body cast for gloves 😂😂😂😂
Fuck at least you're getting gloves at all. We work with Granite and pavers and those shred Gloves Is quick. And boss Man Stopped letting us get any And we We're not Is even abuse It at all. We would all use them Until half our hand was sticking out Which translated into about Two pairs A year when we really Is needed 4 pairs
I worked for a company that made you return your worn out gloves to get new ones and if you didn’t have any gloves to return they would charge you 8 dollars.
To load a truck you need a 40-60mins doing job alone . Moving pallets with goods from -18c to truck and job provides half rubber half polester gloves that got 0 ventilation at 15mins of work your palms freeze inside glove . Told company owner about it and he said " this is expensive well tested gloves ". Told him local small store sells those gloves for 99cents he shut off real fast.
The gloves that don't breathe aren't worth the material they're shat out with. I never knew my hands could smell like unwashed sweaty feet but I learned something new that day, never buy cheap gloves from the swapmeet cuz it ain't worth it.
@@fluidthought42 found decent -18c gloves at general store . Skin breathe retains warm and cost only 7 eu . Still for big company 7 eu is too much.
Just remember you are the one making "Them" money not the other way around, so dont be shy to promote yourself and tell em give me what I want so I can work properly or just leave, it costs them time and money to fill in your spot, and hopefully the snowball keeps rolling. You can never spoil your workers to much really they are your foundation.
Or work with the workers around you to organize and collectively bargain for your rights, or at the very least to force management to pull the head out their ass for a cool minute.
My company just paid a guy $2500 to do work on Saturday because i refuse unless i get on call pay like the electricians (i am millwright) they spend more on a guy coming in then how much on call pay is
@@RegalBeagle1776 that's America baby
One of them is deductible
They can probably claim it as a tax expense.
Asked my boss for new gloves 🧤 one time. He said what I did with the ones a week and a half ago. I told him I moved my hands a lot and made friction and they got holes in them and don’t exist anymore.
Used to work warehouse/logistics that was so ghetto they didn't even have that roller stick for the plastic roll. Yknow, the thing that you use because it's faster and means less injuries. Anyway, we didn't have that shit so you had to use your hands. But if you used your bare hands the inner cardboard roll would basically sand your skin off! So naturally you used gloved hands to wrap the pallets up for outbound. However we also start getting complaints about this excessive glove usage, despite the company consistently failing to either spring for the right tools or think through the nature of the job. Next warehouse I go to has its own issues, but they had those fucking roller sticks. Miraculously, my gloves seemed to have lasted much longer there.
Look at the characters played by Marshall Patrick, working like a high dollar man.
I worked in a mill when I was 15 pulling lumber. Like, 99 - 2000. We used these yellow wool gloves with rubber Chris crosses on em…they’d get chewwwwwwed up so quick. They started making us bring our gloves up to the foreman’s office to show him we needed new ones. Cutters never stop. You’d run up there to convince the foreman you needed new gloves and come back to a hugggge pile of lumber …it was a sh;t show. Eventually they had guys conspiring with the millwright on heists to get us gloves on the floor so we could switch up when we needed em.
Road to 1M for MP
For the record when youre paying 4k-10k a month as a business for workmans comp insurance, employees tend to need to step their game up.
Actually infuriating how real this is.
The way the place I work at does is that the green kevlar gloves are free, you get like 4 nice pairs a year or your lead man can get you a voucher.
Ugh, I felt this one in my soul.
The next video should be the workers comp claim
I fkn love that your both people cause truly there's zero difference between the two, except the guy wearing the gloves has more common sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a scaffolder gloves we use can last you 6- 10 weeks or 2 weeks depending on want we are doing thank good they provide them to us with no questions asked unless you need a new pair every other day
Makes me appreciate the company I work for will give you any PPE for free, even just if you want it to use at home
haha man your awesome..random as hell i love it! You actually talk about the dumb ass workforce as well.
At this point just file for a union there is only 12 of you. Do a collective bargaining agreement. Get like 7 of them to do a walk out.
“Absolutely not”- my boss
I have seen this before. Company I worked for paid efficiency engineers to come up with a way to save money. Their ideas were common sense. Ideas that were pretty much already in practice. The cost is astronimical.
"We got a new bonus structure coming up for management, and it's a lot of money."
What does YOUR bonus have to do with OUR gloves and safety?
Come walk around the DC I work in and you will lose all faith in engineers, I promise 😂
Straight to concentra 💀😭
lol I sat in a meeting we were discussing if we should send out our safety glasses of cleaning or if we should buy new each time. There was 6 of us in the meeting. About 10 minutes minutes into it the supervisor said. "How much is this meeting costing? Cause I bought a case of 144 glasses 2-1/2 years ago and I still have 25 pairs left. That is less than $40 per year in costs. How much do you think you can save?" Meeting was over pretty quickly after that.
What's sad is this is probably based on reality. I work a city job and pretty much it's the same. My department was 21 people 11 years ago and now we are finally getting up to 9 after being at 6 for over 2 years. More work for less people means more money in manager's pockets.
Love it just Love it iam old school I have paid for my stuff my whole life because of cheezy employers waisting money on pencil pushers and a break room the welder
Sounds like the place I work for. They will happily spend a dollar to save a dime
Lmfao wow. Even with how greedy my last company's management team was, we ALWAYS had a fully stocked Fastenal vending machine. Just enter your code and grab gloves, drill bits, bolts, etc.
I hated my last place, but if I worked in a place like THIS it would mysteriously go up in flames one day ☠️
Bro the amount of gloves we go through at my company
PPE is required but you need to pay for it. Don’t give a damn what OSHA said, they don’t work here!
I'm a chemist (not professional). I'll often have to change my gloves every hour.
I can sorta understand this mentality. We had a guy a work who got a new pair of gloves everyday. He threw the other pair away. The cloves cost 30 dollars each. I normally wore a pair out in 4 to 5 moths.
Why would you base your study off of faulty data though?
If you know that your employees are working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week the why would you base your study off of the assumption of an 8 hour day 5 days a week?
All of these video's fit the skyline corporation to the T.
I've seen something like this before at a job
I want a part 2
My company gives us unlimited gloves due to a law suit.
This is what is wrong with Big Corporations and the Government
Take away manager bonuses and give bonuses to the employees. The managers make more and have more and better benefits.
My company ordered these vending machines and put the gloves, safety glasses and everything else needed and only leads and supervisors can "order" from them. I work In a manufacturing plant and I work with various chemicals daily and have to deal with these damn machines multiple times a day. All as an attempt to save money on gloves, safety glasses and everything else. I'm a lead and I'm only allow to get TWO packs of gloves for my crww of 8 guys to last for 12 hours a day. The metal parts rip those cheap ass cloth gloves up In 10 minutes tops. Greedy bastards. 😂😂😂😂
Bossman and safty man learned the hardway not to skimp out on gloves when a guy sliced his hand handling barbwire. Anybody who has worked with barbwire knows gloves doesnt last long
our company has unlimited PPE budget, if you need new equipment it's much more cheaper than having paying for injuries, lost work day injuries, osha fines, etc.
Worked at a place that made you turn in the old ones to get new ones……..they found out that some guys (me) can wear out a pair of gloves in days …..I worked on our pallets sorting lines for 2-4 days out of a 6 day week sometimes….and we were working 10’s during the summer months…….
If they hadn't paid for the testing, they could have afforded the gloves.
im a meat cutter atm and you wouldnt believe the amount of managers that will walk in the meat room and go "how come so and so isnt wearing their cut resistant gloves?' Oh because those things suck and they dont work, the knife goes right through them, "ok well its company policy that they need to wear them" Ok well buy us some chainmail cutting gloves and we will do that but atm the moment there isnt a point and wearing something that wont protect you' "oh well those metal gloves arent in the budget" , I dont know what to tell you then, sorry. this happens almost every time.
When someone has a ridiculous policy change or suggestion or mandatory its that managers idea or deal and they aint doing it for free
Those fancy testing machines just don't replicate sweat heat and debris on the gloves
Glad i live in Sweden.
