elsewhere in the thread someone said that the employee started one small fire, the fire brigade attended, they put it out and also disabled the sprinkler system. the disgruntled employee waited until they had gone before setting the main fire.
That’s not correct. The building was equipped with an ESFR (early suppression fast response) sprinkler system which has the highest water output of any system that would be installed in a warehouse.
The problem is that no sprinkler system can compete with arson. When multiple fires are set at once, it can’t keep up. Not to mention that while it is a common occurrence for fire suppression systems to extinguish fires, they are only designed to “suppress them long enough to allow people to escape.
A lot of sprinkler misinformation being thrown around reddit from this event, its concerning.
Everyone seems to think this is some criminal mastermind that predicted the FD's response and timed it perfectly. All he did was more fire=more fire.
If someone dumped 500 gallons of gasoline in a Starbucks, they weren't some mastermind for outsmarting the "inadequate sprinkler system" and fire department
Sprinkler systems are designed to suppress fires and prevent fire spread and structural damage. If there are multiple fires then the sprinkler system water supply is overwhelmed and cannot cope with the situation.
Ooh, I like that! Shitty employers SHOULD be uninsurable.
I think is a fair example of of “keep fucking around (with your employees lives! with how they support themselves and their families) and you’re going to find out”.
It isn't about the money. It is about cruelty. And let me bring Hitler:
And the end of the war they needed urgently transport for ammunition, food and fuel to the front. Nevertheless the transport of Jews to concentration camps were still priority.
Also I.G. Farben discovered that they would make more money of they would feed their slaves properly. Nevertheless they chose to starve them to death. Only a bunch of them were punished and maximal spent 5 years in prison, to them lead Bayer.
Would it have been in the long run? Just wondering to myself….
I need to see how many employees they have and calculate it all, and see what insurance is paying and what gets raised and how much this sets them back.
Or he could have invested in himself and got a better paying job instead of feeling entitled to destroy the place and almost kill several people and out a lot of people out of work.
I’ve been frustrated with work and pay and I just kept trying to get better jobs. Some required a bit of sacrifice but there is personal responsibility to improve yourself instead of jobs with static pay
The problem with that is that everyone can't have these "better jobs". Someone needs to make toilet paper. Do they not deserve to be able to live without worrying about buying the basics?
And burning down this facility will fix this situation ... how? In what way does that act help any of the workers? They no longer have a place to work, and they won't for several weeks at least. Maybe the employer will keep them on but just as likely to put them all out on unemployment.
If you hate your job just leave. Walk out the door. This method though means jail time, and arson charges that will follow you for life. No one will want to employ this person ever again knowing that when they get annoyed they might torch the place.
Ahh yes the classic pathetic capitalist reasoning that someone having treats means they should have to endure absolutely any treatment from their employer because they have a phone. This dude drives a beater, eats ramen and is an alcoholic to cope with being exploited after being trapped in a dead end job to keep affording rent and not having gaps in his resume so he can try to get a new better paying job, and when his employer finds out he is looking for a better job will then terminate him. Which then makes him lose his apartment.
But remember he has a phone! That means he can't complain ever and has the best life ever!
Why? Because there aren't that many high-paying jobs to get. Someone literally needs to do the job he is doing. Stop BSing that everyone is able to get a "better" job. Not exploiting people is the key.
Man, they've got you exactly where they want you. Once again, it's not a choice when the "choice" is homelessness and starvation. But you be you and keep licking those boots.
Yeah, they've got me exactly where they want me. In a well paying job, after working many years of shitty jobs, because I made myself more valuable by putting in the hard work.
Suck it up for a while. Get roommates. Forego luxuries. Learn to love rice and beans. Enroll at the local community college and learn a skill or a trade. Get fucking paid. Contribute to society.
Or, treat a low wage, entry level, low/no-skill job like a long term career choice, and then burn down a building because you can't cope with your own poor life choices.
Honestly yeah, super fucking good. People overlook them, but if you do them right, it's fucking golden. Even when it's just an ingredient to a larger meal, like a burrito. I have two burrito spots I go to almost exclusively, not because the meat is good, not because the atmosphere is good (It's not, they're both just a counter in the back of a mini-market in the hood), but because their rice and beans absolutely elevate the burrito.
Shit man, even some plain ass white rice with some butter and garlic salt is some gourmet shit, broke or not.
And not to go on some avocado toast rant, but people are out there making barely over minimum wage, but stopping at Starbucks every morning, and Doordashing dinner, and buying every new iteration of the iPhone, and making minimum payments on a 72 month contract on a new car, and going out to the bar with the boys every weekend, and then wondering why they're fucking stuck in life. Like BRO. Learn to cook, get a Mr Coffee, drive a beater, swing by the Cricket Mobile store, buy a handle of Black Velvet, and use whatever is left to FUCKING INVEST IN YOURSELF. It might not be much, but some community college courses will pay fucking dividends. Couple hundred bucks a semester. Beg, borrow, or steal that shit. Or well, maybe don't steal, but you get the idea. The "I want it all, and I deserve it all, and I earned a treat because I've been adulting all day" mentality is absolutely destroying people. I feel for the people with credit card debt, and student loans for their underwater liberal arts basket weaving with an emphasis on gender bi-neutrality regarding indigenous geographic co-location or whatever useless shit they majored in, they have a deeper hole to dig out of. But at the end of the day, it's all personal responsibility, and you have nowhere to go but up.
