Back in February a company was moving office furniture into our building. I have a view of the building entrance from my desk and had a nice chuckle watching 5 people struggle to get an object larger than a fridge up our front step. They were at it for at least 20 minutes. The next day I noticed they had chipped the brick walkway. The single step was damaged just 4 inches across and only one inch deep from the edge.

That afternoon our on-the-ball management placed four large orange cones surrounding the chipped area. The message being that they’re very concerned about our safety. Over the next three months, I saw management come inspect the spot several times. Often with clipboards, making notes.

Recently I saw two men from management on the step, fiddling with the cones. Good, I thought. They’re finally fixing it and getting rid of the rediculous over-the-top warning. Right? Wrong.


Let’s add caution tape!

Three weeks have passed since this photo, and nothing has changed. Amazing.
