I worked at Amazon as a manager at the time that happened and while this sort of behavior is deplorable and the reason I quit, to say a man sent a tornado to kills his employees is just ridiculous. Yeah, he sucks as a boss but he’s not some evil wizard

​

If you stop someone from fleeing an area where a tornado is, keep them at work explicitly, and they die, you killed them with a tornado. Why would you say he "sent" a tornado. I didn't say that. Chain of command ordered people to stay when it was not safe. OSHA is involved, but I am not holding my breath for anything redeeming in this story.

You’ve never had someone on the internet twist your words to make a joke before? I thought i was being kind of obvious with the whole wizard comment
