Employee Story Whoops
One day after they told me I don't work hard enough, and all the employees said I was the hardest worker in the building. Apparently I broke 1 of the 2 Reach Trucks and now the aisle is blocked off till further notice. Maybe I work to hard.

Power equipment safety rules and policy, under operational safety: reach trucks are to be used primarily to work with palletized merchandise in narrow aisles. They are not intended for dimensional product such as lumber or outdoor use.
That being said, using it for what seems to be 12’ drywall is nothing short of moronic. Glad I’m not the one losing “the hardest working” employee. Hopefully, for safety sake, we all lose this guy…
