So, even if you manage to destroy a very expensive machine at work, nothing might happen or a lot of things can happen. It all depends on the manager, the boss, the insurance, the age of the machine and loads of other things. But it’s because of how we were conditioned, the mistakes might still haunt us. And not too long ago, folks on X were sharing these stories. But some mistakes you can’t put a price on. Like printing out the wrong article for students to study and then realizing it’s all about sexual accessories. One of the key reasons behind mistakes is stress. Stress can force people to be less attentive or shut down altogether. And it’s the manager’s responsibility to make sure that there are no stressors in the job that would throw a spanner in the works. And as things pile up, this could lead to burnout, which means less mental or physical energy to deal with work. And this sort of “I can’t even” dynamic can lead to more than just errors—but accidents and injuries, even. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
