$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.
If they got convicted of murder, you know they'd stop doing that shit. But no, fuck handling white collar crime with prison sentences.
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.
This is why they want your healthcare tied to your work. So they can hold absolute leverage over you when you are most desperate.
I always found that system insane. I don't understand that Americans have accepted it for a century, where more civilized countries had healthcare for all. But apparently Americans enjoy their individual right to die of poverty and lack of healthcare? Because FREEDOM BABY!
USA is morally a century behind more civilized countries, and many are even proud of it.
The USA is and always has been a terrorist state. They have been and always will be the way they are. They are not in anyway a century behind anything. They are morally corrupt society who pretend to be a force for good all while dismantling democratically elected governments and killing their leadership for resources. They are like the neighborhood bully but worse. Trump is just their way of life expressing itself.
I just want to point out that every nation with settler colonial roots has the capacity for this. Do NOT let your military get this big, your police be this funded, your corporations to become this entrenched, or your politicians to be in bed with all of them. This is a warning to capitalist nations every where. The seeds are already planted, do not let them sprout.
It really is. The fact that the "pro business" GOP doesn't want the government to cover a cost the private business is currently paying tells you something is off. They are afraid people will retire early since they won't have medical bills to cover in retirement.
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.
It might still be the best place to work in Cincinnati, in spite of the horror stories. 😉
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
Fuck, she had to go to her stupid job, or she would have lost the health insurance she needed for pregnancy care.
“Thank you,” the TQL executive said, according to the lawsuit. “You just saved us a lawsuit.”
LOL
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
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 sincerely hope that communication was entered as evidence.
No, I bet this brilliant work of investigative journalism dug it up /s
Where's the link to the article?
