Tesla factory worker had a bloody encounter with Texas Gigafactory robot

At one time, working at a Tesla (TSLA) - Get Free Report Gigafactory was seen as a step up from the normal automotive factory job. But to be part of one of the most innovative production teams in the automotive space, workers have had to endure heightened risk from on-the-job injuries. Related: Tesla higher as Morgan Stanley sees AI potential offsetting margin pressure A report from The Information shows just how dangerous the company's factory in Texas was for at least one worker who was "attacked" by a robot they were charged with programming. A Tesla engineer was injured by a robot that pinned him to the wall with its claws in 2021, according to a witness report and an injury report obtained by The Information, digging into the worker's back and arm and leaving an open wound of their left hand. The attack left a trail of blood. The engineer was programming software that controls robots that cut car parts from aluminum casts. Two of the robots were disabled during the incident when a third, that was apparently left online, sank its robotic claws into the workers back and arm. Sources told The Information that speedy production demands have led to lapses in safety at the Texas factory.

(Photo by Michael Macor/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images) San Francisco Chronicle/Hearst Newspapers via Getty Images/Getty Images In recent years, Tesla workers have fallen ill after having been exposed to toxins such as ammonia. An employee last summer had his ankle caught under a moving cart, forcing him to miss more than four months of work. Another worker was struck in the head by a metal object, causing them to miss nearly three months of work, the Information reported. Tesla is the automaker with the highest number of active workers of any car manufacturer in the U.S., according to injury attorney law firm Adamson Ahdoot. But from 2014 to 2018, Tesla collected over triple the amount of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations than its top 10 rivals combined, according to Forbes. Nine accidents during the period resulted in 22 OSHA violations. Seven complaints resulted in 18 OSHA violations, and four other incidents brought eight OSHA violations. Meanwhile Tesla in recent years has said it is paying extra attention to its safety culture. "Our goal is to become the world’s safest company by continuously integrating safety into the way we work and the products we build," the company said in a 2020 announcement where it claimed its worker injury rate was below the industry average. However, earlier this month the California Division of OSHA hit Tesla with a $36,000 fine for negligence in the case of an employee who was "seriously injured" last April after a quality control specialist was trapped in a Model Y when the assembly line lurched forward, hitting an open door and slamming it shut. California OSHA has claimed in the past that Tesla omitted hundreds of injuries from its annual summary data between 2015 and 2020.

*Here’s why return-to-office mandates might start to disappear in 2024*

Even as company executives across the country engage in a tug-of-war with remote employees over return-to-office mandates (going as far as threatening workers with termination of their employment for not complying with them), new data suggests that some executives may finally begin raising the white flag in the battle over remote work in 2024. Next year, it is estimated that more than two-thirds of companies in the U.S. will offer more flexibility regarding work locations. They see the benefits of such a move including the ability to attract more talent, increased employee satisfaction and productivity, according to software company Scoop's 2024 Flex Report.Related: Leaked document reveals Amazon's return-to-office mandate just got nastier “Additionally, we see smaller and faster growing companies adopt flexible working patterns, and over time these firms will make up a larger share of the overall company pool and outcompete many traditional firms,” said Arpit Gupta, associate professor of finance at NYU Stern School of Business. “Even a recessionary environment may contribute to this trend, as firms will seek to cut costs through office expenses.” It is predicted in the report that companies that allow more flexible work schedules and locations will outperform their competitors “dramatically” in 2024. Data in the report shows that between 2020 and 2022, companies that were fully flexible had industry adjusted revenue growth of 21%, much higher than the 5% growth of companies that required in-office time. “I believe that companies who root their culture in trust and accountability will be rewarded in the market,” said Brian Elliot, co-founder of Future Forum. “Trust-based organizations have employees who go the extra mile. Pairing trust with a strong focus on accountability for delivering outcomes will be the recipe for outperformance. In contrast, companies who move backwards on trust -- or who take a ‘wait and see’ approach to flexibility -- may change their minds as evidence mounts in 2024.” Executives in 2024 might also “be forced to admit” that their return-to-office mandates did not boost productivity. According to a survey from Atlassian, which polled execs from Fortune 500 companies, company leaders cited low productivity as one of their top challenges, despite 91% of them having in-office mandates. “It seems like many already know that these mandates aren’t the answer. Only 1 in 3 executives with an in-office mandate are convinced that their in-office policies have had a positive effect on productivity,” said Annie Dean, vice president of Team Anywhere at Atlassian. In-office mandates continue to be a point of contention for employees as a recent survey from FlexJobs that polled over 8,000 work professionals found that 56% of respondents either know someone who has quit or plans to quit their jobs due to return-to-office mandates. The survey also found that 51% of respondents preferred a fully remote job, and 46% preferred a hybrid job. Also, 63% of the respondents even cited that they are willing to take a pay cut in order to work remotely. Investing can be hard. We make it easier.

*A flight attendant's unusual 'hack' for getting more liquids through security is going viral*

While her employer may not applaud the suggestion to squeeze more into one's carry-on, a Delta Air Lines (DAL) - Get Free Report flight attendant has been catching significant internet attention for a hack she uses to maximize how much liquid she can bring onto the plane. As the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) does not restrict how many liquid containers of less than 3.4 ounces one can bring past security as long as they all fit into a single quart-sized bag, flight attendant Seymon Kates recommended pouring what one wants to bring into the plastic containers used for transporting breast milk.Related: TikTok has found yet another 'travel hack' for getting an empty plane seat "If you guys like oat milk or any kind of milk or condiments, get a breast milk bag and put your liquids in there," Kates says in the video as she demonstrates pouring almond milk from the bottle into the plastic bag.

Packages of 3.4-ounce plastic bags are typically purchased by breastfeeding travelers on Amazon (AMZN) - Get Free Report for around $15 for a package of several dozen but can also be used to transport other things as it fits into the TSA's 3.4-ounce requirement and makes liquids and gels easy to transport. Due to their compact nature, they can also be used to fit more liquid into the quart-size bag.

The TSA liquid rule was introduced 17 years ago in 2006 as a post-9/11 response after terrorists tried to transport explosives in a water bottle. While over the years airport authorities have slackened on not having to have every small container in a separate plastic bag, what is known as the 3-1-1 rule still requires any liquids in volume greater than 3.4 ounces to be packed in a checked bag or disposed of prior to passing through security. But as the TSA regularly reminds travelers in its press releases, many travelers are still confused about this rule as tens of thousands of full-size liquid containers are confiscated in front of security screening at the different airports across the country every year.
