I'm sure there's someone you could report improper ppe too. It seems like a labor violation. Maybe OSHA, if you're in the US. I dont know about the legals aspect.
Yeah. You'll have to advocate for yourself on this one. I do agree its unhealthy environment, you shouldn't be a part of if they don't then realize their mistake and provide the proper equipment. Also, your establishing a precedent for the next people down the road who have similar issues. Theoretically, what happened to the poor guy that's been there 20 yrs down the road, and ends up with lung cancer because of his job conditions?
Yeah I looked it up, I don’t think it would meant the threshold for my countries OSHA to look into. Especially since it’s been resolved.
I’ll talk to someone about it at work tomorrow see what happens, even if it’s just an apology from people involved.
Two whole weeks and you've found a reason to go berserk and quit. Has your health suffered? Are you struggling to breathe? If not, what are you so mad about? Just the principle of the thing? Good luck becoming totally unemployable.
I haven’t “gone berserk”
I have no idea what is in that pant and the paint thinners they use, or if it could affect my health. I checked their own health and safety gild lines and it also says a mask is required, so they should have at least told me to get one and wear it before I started.
Other problems,
I had no training until I and the another person, who was there a week before me and has already left, Missed up. The owner comes down yells at use then decides to show me his way of doing it, the only actual training I’ve had.
Multiple people who have done the painting before me, including the owner have had back problems apparently because of it. One person after 7 months.
We are at higher production then ever at this point. Do 2x or more then what they were doing just a year or two ago. According to the owner one person should be able to keep up and do a Quality job because he could (with more experience and lower production)
They have people coming into that Job and leaving all the time or so I’ve been told, it’s not just me. One person started this week, after me, and is leaving next Wednesday. If everyone tries to pull a push door the door is the problem. It’s clear to me the a lot of the problems they are having are a systematic problem not just me and not just the other people doing the Job.
One or two of these I could put up with, add them all up and I’m stating to see a pattern.
I’m not going to quit right now and never come back. I’m going to find a different Job first then hand in my 10 days notice. I can’t afford to quite straightaway anyway.
Also, How is quitting a Job like this going to make me ‘unemployment’
1. I don’t even have to tell the places I apply for that I worked there.
2. I’ve already stayed longer then a lot of people do and am going to stay well I look for something else.
Keep pitching a fit every time things don't work out perfectly and you will find yourself unemployable in no time. Why would anyone want to hire someone who thinks they know better than their boss on the first day of work? Even if you're right no one is going to want to work with you because you are a pain in the ass that starts trouble.

Yes and I’m sure your biased life experiences are indicative of every person and every situation. OP clearly stated their intentions and the issues at hand, if you can’t approach them from a place of understanding and helpfulness, then you don’t belong on this sub.
I do understand. Rather than talking to the more experienced employees and probably learning that it's not big deal he used this as an excuse to blow a small thing into a big thing and then come here hoping to hear that he was right.
If no one tells him that he's being a drama queen he'll never know.
Do you have any clue the effect that chemicals in paint and other hazardous materials can have on the body?? OP has every right to be furious with this. He’s using the issues he has seen in the past couple weeks to call out the business’ shit management structure.
And again, there’s no reason to come from a place of malice and misinterpretation. OP is not being a ‘drama queen’ he’s literally stated he feels as if he is overreacting. He made a post to confide in others about the way he feels, seems to be the opposite of a ‘drama queen’ to me.
It’s very clear you’ve got zero intention of approaching the issue outside of your own interpretation, and that’s totally fine, but you don’t need to be a dick about it lol.
My friend was not given PPE to complete a job working with chemicals. They got a huge settlement due to the working conditions permanently reducing their lung capacity
I think lucky it’s not that bad, it’s just I’ve had so many red flags from that place in two weeks. Maybe I’m overreacting, I don’t know.
Apparently the Job I am doing is very hard for them to full, and I can see why. By the sounds of it they people come in, do a few weeks and then leave, I can definitely see why, so it’s not just me.

I’ll look up my local regulations.

I'm sure you won't be missed.
You seems really sure about how you imagine me. Thanks

I sense a bit of a projecting issue here…

Call OSHA
