Exposed: The Shocking Corporate Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know—And Why You’re Somehow Not In Jail
Ever wondered what really goes on behind the sterile walls of healthcare settings? You might think everyone there is a superhero in scrubs, but oh boy, the reality check might just knock the wind out of you. From nurses who dismiss hypothermia as just a “not that cold” feeling, to bedside staff who wait until a patient’s condition is grave before raising alarms, incompetence lurks where you’d least expect it. It’s jaw-dropping, frustrating, and honestly, a little terrifying how often those entrusted with our care seem… well, clueless. But hey, maybe it’s not all doom and gloom—sometimes the scariest secrets are the ones we never imagined. Curious to peek behind the curtain? LEARN MORE.
The number of completely incompetent employees working in health care settings is appalling.

Seriously. I’ve met people who take care of patients and are concerningly dumb. I had a travel nurse yell at me for being concerned about a patient’s temperature because he didn’t “feel that cold”. He was hypothermic.
Zealousideal-Low455:
When I was working as a bedside nurse i was shocked and appalled at how many nurses would refuse to escalate a clearly deteriorating situation until it was life threatening. these people were teaching new nurses too.
Major financial institutions are held up by a very old version of excel.

THIS! I converted an internship to full time role at my first job because I learnt how to automate a lot of basic excel work using VBA and Python. 6 years since I left that job and they still use the programs I put in place though they now have a couple of engineers to develop it more. Still in the industry and every new place I go to work, this is the quickest way to make myself valuable to the organization.
Most modern homes (er, residential construction, inc apts) are built with the cheapest ingredients and I’m not sure they’ll last more than 30 years without requiring a substantial level of exterior refurbishing.
Pilot here.
We’re not flying the airplane unless we know it’s safe. Not ever. Ever.
We’re not interested in dying either.

Aircraft maintenance technician here. All planes have to be maintained under a rigorous schedule. I’m talking specific inspections every 6 months/100 flight hours, more at 12 months/200 hours, and so on. Plus heavy checks (usually labeled by letter– A check, for example). Each one of these checks has a fairly long list of inspections that have to be done. And this isn’t even taking into account the walkaround inspection the pilots have to do before takeoff.
Basically, you have nothing to worry about when you board a plane. Due to the vast amount of government regulation, air travel is as safe as it can possibly be.
The amount of waste that is created in order to fill stores like Walmart and Target with stupid novelty products should make you second guess your buying habits.
AussieMazza:
A friend once said that when buying a product, you should think about its end of life first (e.g. will you donate it, sell it, dispose of it etc)
I now think this way about stuff I buy and try to only buy what I’ll need or will definitely use (and also think about buying things that can be passed on to others when I’m done with them).
If more people thought this way and acted accordingly, the world would be a better place.
My wife and I will generally refer to those novelty or trinket stores as ‘landfill shops’.
It’s not the strangers/drag queens/LGBTQ people that you, or especially kids, need to worry about. It’s the men in the family. After working 11 years at a crime lab doing DNA, I don’t know if I’ve come across a kid r**e kit with a trans person as the suspect. But there are thousands of them from the dad/stepdad/moms bf/step brother/grandpa/etc. If you want to protect kids, start there.
So, bathroom bills aren’t really protecting kids, just diverting attention from actually threats.
Edit: woah! Really glad this sparked some discussion.
With most every r**e kit comes r**e kit notes (and police report) which tells you relevant info, such as suspect and relation to victim. Rare that it is an “unknown” stranger kid r**e. That’s how I know the relations between the suspect and victim. When we see kid cases, there usually is a listed suspect.
DNA is DNA. “Trans” DNA is not a thing. We can tell s*x by the DNA. So if that doesn’t match up with what’s in the submission info, we look into it. It has happened that we have had trans individuals who are listed as their preferred s*x, which is in contrast to their DNA. That’s something we’d like to know up front cause it matters….cause it’s DNA. Many times it is in the police report.
When there’s a fire the only sprinkler that goes off is where the actual fire is. They don’t all go off like in the movies.
