Your just showing your ignorance about electricity. Loading a generator before it's making full power doesn't hurt the generator it burns up whatever appliance it's powering.
Unless you've audited all the electrical parts your company has ever bought and determined none failed before the end of their useful life, then you don't know what your talking about.
If you don't believe me, go plug your microwave into your Sams Club generator at half throttle and tell me how long it lasted before burning up.
