What are secrets of your job?

At the nuclear power station I used to work at they had 2 one site fire stations. The one that was used... and the original one that was too small to fit the fire engines in.

At another station, during construction, there was a screw up in the tolerances for the concrete shroud the pod boilers went in. When they tried to lower the boiler into the hole there was a loud clang and much embarrassment.

 

If you took ground coffee and bananas inside the radiological controlled area they would be considered too radioactive to be removed from the area (due to the potassium content).

I'm not sure the policy of other workplaces, and I'm not employed by subway anymore. But the uniforms we aren't allowed to wear anywhere but in the building and when we're working. It's strictly stated in the handbook. I read this part awhile ago, but probably not the hidden NDA so hush kids. 

And don't think I'm messy, I'm organizing and throwing this shirt out I didn't know I had it.

There's one other thing that I've wondered before - how are they on hills?  Both in terms of how do the trucks handle it, and what's normal for a driver to do?  Because I've seen what can sometimes happen in the mountains on long sustained inclines - roads that other cars hold their speed fine on cause trucks to slow down to way under the speed limit.  Do they just not have the power or is there a rule or reason the driver decides to just not work them hard, etc.?

That nearly all success is from hard work and not an imbalance in fairness or straight up luck.
