And I also wonder why these storage shelves are designed to destroy all their product and bury anyone who’s close to them at the tiniest bump.

Having worked in such environments before...

Partially because management refuses to bolt them to the concrete floor like they're supposed to be, citing "expense" and how it makes the floor layout "less agile," or whatever the fuck their excuse is this week. In cases where the crossmembers are also supposed to be bolted, I can virtually guarantee you that they are not. Bonus points for the racking that they purchased not being rated for the amount of load they insist on having their workers put on them, also to cut costs.

Same. I've accidentally bumped one of these with a forklift, and guess what happened? Paint got slightly scraped. Because the shelves were properly fastened.

Holy shit, my old job was EXACTLY this. Rolling in money but wont bolt down the damn racking. So glad I left.

Also overheard the upper managers talking about how worker labor cost is basically free to them because they underpay everyone. That pissed me off.

Just fuck OSHA I guess

Yeah, pretty much.

You can go ahead and complain to management but they'll just label you a "whiner" and probably start retaliating with petty bullshit and schedule changes. You can complain to OSHA and they'll fit you in for a workplace audit in about six months.
