When Experience Becomes a Threat

In this episode of the Inside the Aisle Podcast, I talk about why experience can sometimes make people uncomfortable in the workplace.
Organizations often say they value experience, but when experienced people start asking questions, pointing out hazards, or challenging broken processes, the reaction is not always positive. Inspired by a LinkedIn post from safety professional James Shultz, this episode looks at workplace culture, accountability, leadership, and why identifying problems should be seen as part of the solution — not as a threat.
I also connect this conversation to the history of workplace safety, the creation of OSHA, and the importance of building a culture where people feel safe speaking up.
At the end of the day, safety is not about protecting egos. It is about protecting people.
