Three former SpaceX supervisors told Reuters that Musk would have machinery painted in industrial safety yellow repainted to black or blue because of he didn’t like how it looked. The ex-supervisors also said that some workers were told not to wear yellow safety vests when Musk was on site.
It says they couldn’t wear yellow safety vests, but I’m guessing, at least at first, that they didn’t have two colors of safety vest available for all employees.
And repainting machines unsafe colors because you don’t like yellow?
Just criminal assholeishness. If he wasn’t so rich, he would be charged with reckless endangerment.
When I was looking for my last job I could have almost picked where I wanted to go. Recruiter approached me about a position at SpaceX. Maybe 5 years ago I would have been thrilled to have even interviewed. I privately laughed out loud while saying I’d think it over. This man is like a fucking child that’s never been told no.
Why didn’t you want to tell the recruiter exactly how you feel about SpaceX? Maybe recruiters should be made to feel like mentioning SpaceX will harm their own reputation.
Because I don’t know who I’m talking to or who they know…if you’re my friend, I’d tell you exactly what I thought. If you were my work colleague, I’d just smile and say I needed to think about it. I don’t ever let personal/professional boundaries cross. I learned that lesson the hard way.
