'The exec told me that the seal was fine': Construction boss insists on running broken cement mixer, gets humiliated and covered in dust

Leave it to an executive with no common sense to make a huge mess. As so often happens, this higher-up wanted to prove that they were the head boss in charge, and made everyone else's days a little worse for it.

Our society would be nowhere without the folks who work in construction. Concrete is in just about every modern building, not to mention sidewalks and roads. Construction crews can make quick work out of this. In just a few hours, your company can go from having a broken slab of concrete outside to having a freshly made sidewalk square.

But if you know anything about concrete, you know that it's temperamental. The professionals who make it have learned the exact amount of water to add to the mix to make it the right consistency. Otherwise, you end up with chunky, unworkable concrete, or watery concrete that won't set. The worker in this story, u/Hadak-Ura, had another problem to contend with: their machine had a door that wouldn't shut properly and led to constant problems. Although the employee was aware of this, an exec who was shadowing them for the day didn't care about it at all.
