This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So not only are the nets there to prevent employees from committing suicide by self-defenestration, which is only a safety measure put into place after people have actually jumped from the window & died, but the nets are also ineffective and don't serve the purpose they were intended? Great.

The nets are not there to prevent suicides. The nets are there to prevent the company losing business. So long as they are able to say, "look we care about our workers", western companies won't be pressured into changing suppliers by slactivists on twitter.

to be clear, the nets in the OP are not to protect the person falling. they would be at the top if that's what they were for
