The odds of dying at work due to tornado are skewed a bit when the management is like "There's a tornado coming. Keep making those candles, bitches" Then the employees try to leave, but get told they'll be fired if they do. Which in that case, is probably way more likely than death by cow. Unless you've just got some real ornery cows.

Oh, then link one? I hadn't heard that the candle shop owner was threatening to fire employees to stay at their job during a tornado.

Ok, here ya go, an uber liberal left wing source and ZERO mention of anyone being fired if they left.

I found one:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...mploy-rcna8581

Sounds like the employees were saying they were threatened, but the owners/managers said no one was threatened.

I also read a "news" article about the death at an Amazon warehouse where the guy who died sent a text to his wife saying that Amazon wouldn't let him leave because a tornado was in the area... the article literally was worded that Amazon was forcing him to be there.. when in reality it sounds like Amazon was looking out for their employee... not wanting him to leave when there was a tornado in the area.

That's pretty much SOP for any employer during a Tornado.

Telling everyone to go home when it's the land of OZ outside is something an alt-left Employer would do.

Not really, mostly they extort them for money and cover up nefarious and incompetent behavior. I was a member of CWA for 5 years working for a baby Bell so I got to see it first hand.
