The odds were in the company’s favor that the tornado would pass them by. How many times previously had there been a tornado threat and nothing happened?
However, low probability isn’t zero probability. The company could have hedged its bets by building a shelter. And where it really messed up was threatening employees that wanted to leave. It’s one thing to say, “OK, punch out, you’re done for the day. See you tomorrow,” and it’s another thing to say, “If you leave, don’t bother coming back. We’ll mail you the check.” If this case gets before a jury, that’s going to hurt the company the most. The company essentially killed 8 people through negligence. (I wouldn’t say murdered, which is too strong a word.)
I hope managers and decision-makers take note—if you decide to risk your employees’ lives, you might get away with it for a while—maybe a long while. But it might just catch up with you and then you’ll be that person that allows x number of people to die out of greed or ambition. At that point, you should probably become a politician.

@optimusprime4443 Don’t bring up 2016, or the snowflakes will start whining how we didn’t immediately bow down and worship their unAmerican Idol. They seem to not know that EVERY President faces disgruntled people whose candidate lost. Dems were unhappy about Regan, George HW Bush, and Bush. Republicans were unhappy about Clinton and Obama. All of these presidents sought to unite us after their elections, while maintaining the wisdom that they couldn’t please everyone all the time. But the Trumper snowflakes are still bent out of shape that we didn’t all rush out to kiss the ass of the most divisive President we’ve seen in decades. (There’s been no one as divisive in my lifetime, anyway.)
FWIW, I voted for Reagan, George HW, Dole, George W, Obama, and I held my nose and voted for Hillary. And hell yes, I voted for Biden.

The testimony about the ex President’s behavior wasn’t completely shocking because we already had an idea about his lack of decorum, his temper, and overweening egoism. However, what we didn’t know about was his lack of self control, his inability to control his urges and regulate his behavior. Before the testimony, I might have thought that “spoiled petulant child” was true figuratively. His behavior and thinking has always been like a misbehaving child of four years of age. It was his motivating spirit. But it IS a little shocking to learn it was literally true, that his tantrums were literally tantrums and not just yelling at his subordinates.
If it was just yelling and slamming doors, that would be one thing. Not acceptable, but within the realm of a misbehaving ADULT. But the dish throwing, the grabbing at the steering wheel while someone was driving is different. It’s the behavior someone with less self control than a toddler that needs a nap.
No wonder the Pentagon’s Chief of Staff called the various commanders wrt to the nukes and delaying possible orders to attack other countries. When I heard about that, I thought, “that sounds like a little much, possibly erring on the side of caution”.
