This guy rules. Nobody died. Should have paid him more.
Edit: I can't believe a warehouse that big didn't seem to have sprinkler systems. This kind of thing was practically inevitable. Is this just some kind of water conservation exemption in california?
Read in an internet comment, so take with a grain, but he apparently had a multistage plan. Started a small fire, fire dept came to deal with it, and company brass had them turn off fire suppression to limit unnecessary damage to product in other areas. It was then that they lit a bunch more fires, and by the time the figured it out, it was too late.
fucking beautiful.
Idk how accurate any of it is, but looked at several articles that claimed the fire suppression system was working but insufficient (statement from fire chief)
My guess at this point would be that the warehouse shelving design was actually preventing effective use of sprinkler systems by protecting the fire and being too dense to allow the system to be effective.
You want fireproofing? In this economy? How am I supposed to return 30% YoY profits to my investors?!
Won't somebody PLEASE think of the Shareholders!
No one died? Dope I mean I might have semi-supported him before, long as he took full steps to protect people and just burn business, legend.
uh huh, now dozens of his coworkers don't have a paycheck. Mission accomplished, I guess. If he really ruled, he would have left the door open.
co-workers already weren't getting pay checks that's why he sent the place on fire they hadn't been paid in months.....
This doesn't make much sense. If my employer didn't pay me for months, the only reason I'd stay is if it was a great company that I loved and believed in. Even then, I have hard time believing a company could make this sort of arrangement in California.
....also-if what you're saying is true-then the company was a hair breadth away from bankruptcy. Someone burning down the warehouse could have been a best case scenario for everyone but the insurance company.
Is that the location that was doing bad? Because the company has been around since 1872 and is a fortune 500 company with annual revenue over 20 billion.
What's your point?
It means not everybody will take the same course of action that you will some people will continue trying and hoping that they'll finally get paid considering they've got all this time sunk into it it's called the sunken time fallacy actually....
Despite whether or not they actually will and who knows the motivations of the management of that particular Warehouse on why they weren't getting paid or what was happening it's easy enough for us to speculate as arm chair quarter backs.
So we have to go off of what we have available is and we have the video of the person who set the fire openly stating exactly why so let's just go with that how about that. At least until new information that's becoming available otherwise all we're doing is speculatig bullshit.
y'all children know that unemployment is a thing, right?
Sure, but where will they ever find a job working in a warehouse in California again?
It takes weeks for the first payments to start you dimwit.
