  • My point was that good policies can be interpreted poorly.

    The company has people it KNOWS are first aid trained and they were trained recently. Letting someone who claims to know take precedence over someone who definitely does would be bad policy, switching out for someone who is documented as trained asap is good policy. First aiders need to sign waivers and forms saying they accept the risks and responsibilities, which limits the liability of the company if Bob doesnt make it or Bob had hepatitis. Standard corporate BS but sensible policy.

    Some idiot interprets the policy poorly as “have the person relived by first aiders only” and refuses to let anyone else help.

  • My workplace has a similar rule about CPR or medical emergencies. It has to be supervisors or the official first aid team members IF POSSIBLE. 1. Because we know all of the first aid training for those people is current. 2. Its traumatising for people to perform CPR especially if its ineffective. And we are to encourage staff to return to their duties or at very least advise staff to clear the area and give them some privacy because if you arent actively helping (Which this person was) you’re just gawking and you need to fuck off.

    Could very well be common sense rules that have been misinterpreted by an idiot.

    Its very much the same as standup comedy. Its 100% you.

    If people dont watch its because YOU arent entertaining enough, YOU arent likeable enough, YOU arent putting in enough effort and energy, YOU dont bring anything new to the table, YOU dont take enough risks… Theres no team, theres no band, theres no coworkers, its all on you. Thats a lot to hang your entire livelihood on.

    I could only do streaming or a YT if I had “never work again” money because without the pressure I probably could be fun and entertaining the whole time.
