If she has a good quarter, she’ll get a bonus, and thus be more financially prepared when she’s sued by her employees.

American CEOs are typically among the sickest, most deranged people imaginable. What a monstrous, brutal, ignorant piece of shit this one is. I am struggling to avoid certain insults here, but I hope she fucking drowns in her own business establishment, completely alone. Apparently she hasn’t heard about the great resignation yet. I also hope every single employee quits en masse.

I thought he just had to think about it now. No Sharpie required.

“…every time we prepare for a disaster, it’s a nothing-burger”

Aside from being obviously false, she’s actually denying the existence of natural disasters. She’s saying they literally never happen. Even for a CEO that’s a realty distortion field beyond the pale.

Yup, unfortunately denial is favorite tactic among some folks in positions of power. Dismissing the experiences and concerns of others is part of the cruelty. Reading how these incidents affect people makes me even angrier at this CEO’s lack of empathy:

It will be interesting to see how much business this company is able to do when they lose power, roads become flooded or impassable and the phone lines all go out.

Back in 1985 hurricane Gloria ran through Long Island. I worked at a television transmission facility. Nobody was required to come in, but they offered triple time pay and most of the tech crew came in. They provided cots and food, and we ran on generators for a week. The only storm prep management made was buying hundreds of blue tarps, the cover the gear in case the roof leaked.

100+ mph winds, but there was no damage, until we found out the building across the street had it’s roof blown off. Our building and theirs was built by the same builder. So everyone needed a new pair of pants.

I ended up staying there for 5 days. There were so many trees down I couldn’t get home, and there was no power there anyway. Of course, being paid continuously didn’t hurt either.

If anything, I’d imagine that some parts of their operation are things that you Would Not Want in mid-flight if conditions are looking dicey.

Since loath even small printers with the sort of burning fury that allows stellar nucleosynthesis to make it past iron on the periodic table I don’t have personal experience; but I can only imagine that dealing with a “69,800 sq ft printing plant” that loses power part way through a run is an unpleasant procedure.

And I do know from experience that (not all, but more than one would like) software systems for dumping either database scrapings or sequential values like lot codes to paper are really fussy about having to find their place and restart from partway through a run. One has to give them credit for their speed at executing the batch as ordered if everything goes to plan; but verifying exactly what prints completed prior to the spanner coming to rest in the works(to avoid either missed or duplicate output) and then futz with the parameters of the original batch to order up whatever was missed is a real nuisance.

Where does that information come from?

I’ll lead with the obvious that the CEO should be fired into the sun, but it is also astoundingly bad from a production standpoint in addition to basic humanity. Large swings in humidity and fluctuating power supplies are terrible in printing. Just choosing to try to run the machines in those conditions will lead to garbage print quality and the equivalent wear on the machine of months of normal conditions, and that is assuming their building is untouched.
