    Episode 26 - Obedience to Orders

    Episode 26 is a hot off the press episode made because I am fed up. Management LOVES to give unsafe orders and the membership simply does not know how to respond. Contractually we can disobey some orders, but to prevent discipline we must know which orders you can and cannot disobey. Find me on Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
