/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1702535
Mostly it comes down to the education and mindset of the average chinese. Pretty much from day-dot you have to respect authority and supervisor figures in your life, or there's some consequences to that which are made out to be more unpleasant (on the punishment, cultural deviancy etc) than doing something fucking retarded in the first place.
Which for us in the west isn't acceptable, but you come from somewhere that has consequences for fucking up or sending workers into hazards without due care- in China, the supervisor is right, even when he's wrong because some of the underlings fucked up the process that he told them to do. If they fill a sewer with welding gas mixture or hit a power line- that's not the fault of the supervisor, he didn't say 'fill the hole with gas' or 'touch the power line' in his instructions does the literal throwing them under the bus.

Even at their cultural level, everyone will side with the supervisor, after all he didn't tell them to fill it with gas or fuck with the electricity. Its very much a case of no-handrails, not falling is your responsibility kind of place.

But if you're ever in doubt that something might be spinning, call over your supervisor and ask 'is this spinning sir?'
He can then tell by touch, if the device is indeed spinning
