A middle-aged teacher invested his life
savings in a business enterprise which had been elaborately
explained to him by a swindler. When his investment
disappeared and the wonderful dream was shattered, he went
to the office of the business link" Why on earth, asked the
man, "didn't you come to us first? Didn't you know about the
business link?"
"Oh yes," said the man sadly, "I've always known about you.
But I didn't come because I was afraid you'd tell me not to
do it."
Sounds like a few line managers I know who won’t ask about
safety.
