Late stage capitalism at work

So… If I’m reading it right… As soon as an executive knew the situation, they made efforts to fix the issue. The fact that was required at all is ridiculous, but at least they tried to fix the issue.
Meaning it was the middle management bureaucracy that killed the child. Yet again proving that middle manglement always lives up to their name. I wonder what’s going on with whoever made that initial decision that not only led to the death of an infant, but a $22.5 million lawsuit directly from their ahitty decision.
I highly doubt the executive cares about all the workers, or they would change the policy. They cared that their friend knew, and judged them on it.
I sincerely hope that communication was entered as evidence.
No, I bet this brilliant work of investigative journalism dug it up /s
I mean, it’s sad that they were more concerned about a lawsuit than the health of the people involved, but that’s just showing that this sort of thing is effective. The exec wanted the request approved so that this very thing didn’t happen, but it was apparently too late. The whole thing is very sad but I’m glad that’s the position the execs had over “lol, no”. The exec wanted it approved so it seems like the request was denied by someone lower down and by the time the exec was informed there was nothing to be done
Damn. Their headquarters is literally less than twenty minutes from me. Always thought they were shady fucks despite being “Best Place To Work in Cincinnati” year after year - you hear tons of horror stories out of TQL if you live here.
If it’s a best place to work, why would anyone want to work from home? I bet the mother just didn’t know that part or else she would’ve gone to the office
It might still be the best place to work in Cincinnati, in spite of the horror stories. 😉
I almost got recruited by them at a job fair when I was in college…
I was confused but article makes it clear. The pregnancy was high risk so her management saw that her working from temporarily is too high of risk vs the risk to the long term employee health and her baby. We really need to stop promoting monsters.
Fuck, she had to go to her stupid job, or she would have lost the health insurance she needed for pregnancy care.
If they got convicted of murder, you know they’d stop doing that shit. But no, fuck handling white collar crime with prison sentences.
$22.5 million? Sure, that sounds like a big number. I can’t wait to come back in six months and see that the penalty has been appealed and either overturned completely or reduced to the point of insignificance to the company.
Where’s the link to the article?
That headline sucks
