Part of my job is to write policy. In writing policies, I've found it very effective to have the worst offenders offer their advice on how the policy should be written. I ask very specific questions about their violations and how they would recommend the policy be changed to stop further violations or "rulebending".Please compare that with this quote taken from the immediately prior post.
Fact - I work in a regulated industry. Yes...we make hazardousSo, you're writing policy for your own company and you think that the wordst violators in your own company can give you good input on writing that policy?
materials.
Fact - I write policies. Its line 3 under "Responsibilites" in my job
description.
Fact - The person involved in the Protocol is a co-worker. 2
floors down.
Fact - EPA law requires >companies< to monitor and self
report.
Here's a term for you....
Masterbation.
Who gives a FUCK what your INTERNAL policies are and how they're generated?!?
Your car analogy is a poor one because speeders are NOT required by law to monitor and self report.That is true. But that wasn't the point I was making. My point was that people who break the rules do NOT report themselves.
The speeders was an easy analogy.
Since you seemed to have trouble with that (and still seem to) I gave you TWO examples of companies that LLIED on their REQUIRED reports to the EPA.
Violators do NOT report their violations.
Even if they are REQUIRED to.
I have used people who bend the rules successfully to offer advice and assistance in writing new policy to close those loopholes.Do you UNDERSTAND why I said that was masterbation? Do you? No one >CARES< what your INTERNAL policies are! You don't have any AUTHORITY over anyone else.
What you do or do not do has NO IMPACT on what other companies do.
They are not >criminals< because what they were doing was perfectly legit. It isn't any longer.You see? This is where the confusion comes in.
You say >YOU< re-wrote the policy to change a previously LEGAL act into an ILLEGAL one.
But you do NOT have that authority NOR is that the office you hold.
Yet you >STILL< claim to have done that.
I've put up the two companies I've worked for. I still don't see you doing the same.
You're operating under another masterbation fantasy, Bill. You did NOT do what you claimed you did.
Okay, let me put this in very small words for you......Again, people who violate the rules do NOT work to toughen those rules.
I work for a company that has assisted in tougheniing rules a great expense to itself. That would seem counter to your assertion.
Are you saying that your company was in violation of EPA policy?
Yes/No?
Think >VERY< carefully about your answer there. You know what happens if you answer "yes".
If not, then my point (allow me to quote it back to you "Again, people who violate the rules do NOT work to toughen those rules.") is valid as your company did NOT meet the criteria for that statement (note the part about "violate the rules").
Now, if your company did NOT violate the rules, then your company does NOT match my criteria and, once again, you have proven my point about your inability to read with comprehension (due to the vast quantity of filters you have running in your head).
If your company DID violate the EPA rules (well, well, what was that about "moral" companies the other day?) then >YOU< did NOTHING to strengthen the EPA rules, only your INTERNAL policies.
Either way, your original hypothesis has been disproven (based upon this example).
Unless your company DID violate the EPA policy AND self-reported it AND worked to toughen the EPA's policy.
If so, please provide the name of your company for verification. You seem more than a bit confused on whether you write EPA policy or not and whether your company is/was in violation or not. In fact, your "facts" seem to change from post to post.
Not that I would EVER doubt your veracity.
Never ever.
