Can someone explain to me how more companies in Florida aren’t getting sued, like all of the time? I have lost count of the number of businesses and stories from the past few days of bosses making employees come to work during a hurricane. Some told their, employees, to sleep in the office on air mattresses and dragged their kids in. Like dang, you print junk mail postcards, you can close for a few days, and no one will miss you.

That’s horrible. I’m in Florida and luckily we were able to shut down the business. It is horrible to think employers are forcing their employees in. Horrible !

I'm sure there will be lawsuits when the dust settles and the people who went through that can get their bearings. I think it's disgusting that people are willing to prey on other people like that during a hurricane, putting them and their families in danger. I also heard of a sheriff who refused to evacuate the jail and now there are hundreds of people missing and injured in that same town. I wish there was a more organized national effort in terms of natural disasters, especially in places that are often affected like Florida.

I agree completely! Times like this show which companies actually car about their employees.

😬😳

This can't be real. Seriously? I never imagined that the time will come where material things become more valuable than human lives. Whoever does these kind of things need to learn their lessons.

Capitalism see no value in human only in money 😪

It's absolute insanity

What??? Really? Are they even human? They are prioritizing business over their employees' lives.

I worked for a company like this about 10 years ago. We were expecting over 3 ft of snow. They told us to be prepared to come in in the morning, if we didn't think we could get there we could bring our clothing with us and we could sleep there, or if we lived within 15 minutes of the place they would send jeeps/4 wheelers or whatever to come get us to come in. They told us we were not allowed to use a sick day or vacation day and if we called out we would be fired.
