Breaking News: Fire at Rivian Factory

[87Ducks]

That's soooo true. "Somebody on 2nd shift did it!"

If they ever find that person named Somebody, they're in deep crap. That person Somebody causes problems in factories all over the US every day.

Somebody's response :" It was like that when I got here"

actually, thinking of an improper handoff from first to second which would put the "blame" on first. But those details will never be shared.

That’s what I was thinking too. Improper communication perhaps.

I mean, it’s probably good for outcomes thst most of them are so weirdly passionate about their work but…

do I have to file a hot work permit if I might break a sweat? Is stubbing my toe a near miss? That paper cut needed a bandaid which had to be signed for…
It was on my mousing hand, I have to go home ?

We own a staffing company and some of the workers como claims were just like that. Sheer madness but I guess someone has to pay for that stuff.

Rivian board "hey we got a new excuse now to delay contacts and delivery "

Just kidding, but not really.

OH&S people are weird.

That's typically how engineers are labeled...

Reminds me of the old joke about being a single female at Georgia Tech looking for a boyfriend: The odds are good but the goods are odd.

We said the same thing at Michigan Tech!

We also had the ol' saying of "Getting Your Ms. degree".

Per this article from mid afternoon, it was indeed a small sub-module battery fire. It does seem to indicate minimal factory damage.

I heard the same about MIT from a female MIT graduate who met her husband there.

I can't believe you've gone your whole life without seeing it!

I can’t believe a small battery fire at the nascent Rivian production line is not top of mind and concern.

Look, I’m rooting for it to be a non-issue, but would sure like to see some support for just that.

No one was hurt and yes it looks like it was in the battery plant. Hope RJ didn't start it so they could justify some further delay sympathy. Oops and sorry...my cynical side took over my body for a moment. Promise to not let this happen again this week;/.
