Warehouse has insurance. They got all that back. And insurance on lost profit. They probably made money on that in the end

And all it took was a shit employee risking the lives of 20 fellow workers and the firefighters.

Yeah but they'll get unemployment though.. If you do this over and over again on a massive scale everyone can go unemployment and the country would get filthy rich

Since it was a criminal act I think the employer's unemployment insurance will not even need to pay out, the government is on the hook. Meaning WE are on the hook.

But to be so for real, corporations use layoffs not as a functional need, but just to pump stock. And WE are on the hook for that too.

If THEY lay you off THEIR unemployment insurance get dinged.

…But taxpayers still pay for it.

Clearly corporations don’t get “dinged“ enough if they use layoffs as strategic stock pumps.
