Listen "EP 752 - Different Realities: Management, Safety, and the Multiverse of Work"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Jay Allen explores how the “multiverse” metaphor helps us understand the different realities inside organizations. From upper management’s checklist mindset, to middle management’s balancing act, to frontline workers carrying out the actual tasks—each layer experiences the same work in very different ways. Jay breaks down how these conflicting perspectives shape safety conversations, why bonus structures often create more confusion than clarity, and how acknowledging multiple realities can shift the way we approach safety.Ripped from the headlines of The Rated R Safety Show, this main story dives into the challenges of aligning safety goals across the chain of command, and why seeing safety only as a “bonus” undermines its true purpose.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
