This reads as a story from 15 years ago. Scientists, among all us, should be able to design a safe working environment, with proper oversight. For fucks sake. Even the HR in Antarctica is broken.
“HR” isn’t broken, it’s people that are broken. We shouldn’t need specific departments to keep people from sexually assaulting each other.
They won’t stop serving alcohol because it would make the jobs unappealing… Maybe they shouldn’t want the kind of employees that find deployment appealing only if alcohol is available, but that might just be me 🤷
I mean, alcohol is something I like, regardless of where I live. Why should Antarctica suddenly make me stop liking beer?
Because they have the proof that allowing people isolated in a small group for extended periods of time to drink alcohol leads to issues including violence and sexual crimes.
If you like alcohol so much that you wouldn’t consider going to work in a “dry town” then chances are that you will end up being exactly the kind of person they don’t need to have living at the research station.
That’s conjecture.
It’s based is what it is
