He was professional enough to answer a couple of call backs for emergencies, but he was clearly getting pissed off about it, because the guy hired to replace him is.....let's be nice and call him a slow learner. The last time the old guy came back, he came about a hair's breadth from taking a swing at the new guy and had to be walked back to his truck by the floor supervisor.

Today we had a visit from OSHA with a bunch of "concerns" about several of the issues the old guy left over.

Coincidence?
Oh god we have this same issue at my warehouse, a lot of the systems and machines just suck and are outdated. We're running on programming from outsourced companies from 2011, the most up-to-date stuff I've seen is like microsoft office 2013. Plus they refuse to give IT any overtime pay so if something breaks at night or on weekends (which my shift) it's basically "Oh well, wait for it to work again"
