So a few years back I worked for a brick / block making firm. I was using the cuber (A machine that would push the bricks and blocks on to a wooden pallet) I was tasked with stacking newly made bricks on pallets and stacking said pallets in the shed to keep them out of the weather. I was using the new pallets like we normally do for the bricks as they would be stacked 4 pallets high. (About 8 meters tall or about 26 feet) My boss yelled at me saying “Just use the old pallets” I replied with “The old pallets are not strong enough for that weight” Well he was always right and demanded to do as he said. Skip to a few hours later and I hear my boss yelling and swearing up a storm, one of the old pallets at the bottom collapsed destroying about 4k worth of product. He starts yelling at me putting the blame on me. (Now this was a long time coming and I was done being blamed for his screw ups.) I stood over him and started yelling back “You told me to use the old pallets I did as you said so don’t you dare blame me for your screw up” I then turned around and left. Now he didn’t like to admit he was wrong, But when I got to my station the next Monday there was a new toolkit sitting there for me.
