NOT IN MY BEST INTEREST TO KILL YOU

It’s not in my best business interest to kill you - it's just not a sustainable thing.


Let me explain; if I provide you with an unsafe work area, and you end up dead, then I have a problem - no not all that legal stuff, I can always blame one of my managers - but rather it's now going to cost me money. I have to hire someone (money), train them (money), accept that there will be a learning curve, and therefore, lower productivity / increased quality issues (money), possible cultural issues with the rest of the team (money) and your replacement might not stay and then I will have to do it all over again (money). After all of this I would still have to attend your funeral - lost production and opportunity for me (money) and send flowers (more money).


No, on reflection it is just not sustainable to kill you. A much more cost effective solution is to provide you with a safe and happy environment, where you have the right tools and working environment to do the job and make me money. I like that idea, its a sustainable alternative for my business.
