5. If you fear for your life and safety, do not continue working

No matter what your boss threatens you with. You can always get another job but you can't get another life. Trust your instincts for physical safety.

As a teenager I worked at a restaurant with this dangerous chopper that had a big rotating blade in the back of it. One day while showing me how to use the thing, my boss told me to put my hand in there to get the last bits of chopped vegetables out. I said no. He told me again. I said no again and walked away. As I was leaving he swore at me and told me I was fired. Then as I got to the dinning room I hear a very loud screech. He had put his hand into the chopper and got his fingers chopped off. We rushed him to the hospital which luckily was only minutes away.

They sewed his fingers back on. When he returned to work, his hand all wrapped up, he asked what I was doing there since I was still fired. I filed a complaint but nothing came of it.

I wonder how many others lost their fingers on that piece of equipment.
