Bet The Company

I can’t bring myself to say something quippy or clever about this

…Tyson Foods ordered employees to report for work while supervisors privately wagered money on the number of workers who would be sickened by the deadly [COVID-19] virus

Sworn statements in a wrongful death lawsuit tied to COVID-19 infections in a Waterloo pork processing plant

A plant with an apparent culture of treating its employees as less than humans doesn’t happen overnight. You might not be able to point to “the” event or action that tipped that tipping point, but this is where pretending there isn’t a problem risks you now having to face a “bet the company” lawsuit.

Know the culture at your facilities, and tackle toxic culture sooner rather than later.
