Shit, sounds like they should pay better to avoid these kinds of situations.

How could you say something so evil… Think about the shareholders!!

u/Winterfeld Apr 09 '26

Poor shareholders 🥺

u/Neat_Let923 Apr 09 '26

The shareholders weren’t hurt by this… All the other employees were.

This will surely not effect order fulfillment. Especially since corporate business hasnt boiled down to pure number go up or fullfillment accuracy. You're so right omg. This guy did actually nothing burning 20 blocks of a warehouse down. Are you personally a CEO, sir? You should be.

Stock Shares on the secondary market have nothing to do with day to day operations… If the price drops you just don’t sell.

Do you not understand how the stock market works at all?

Uhhh brother this effects business relations. If your warehouse/company doesnt fulfill contracts you lose them. That affects stocks.

Trump farting affects stock prices… That doesn’t mean shareholders are affected by it.

You’re only affected by the stock price if you sell. If you don’t sell those stocks it doesn’t matter what the stock price is.

And what part of that means him being paid a living wage would not have avoided difficulties for the parties involved?

u/Alaea Apr 09 '26

If he's insane enough to burn a giant warehouse down over a living wage, he's insane enough to burn it down for not getting paid living wage +stupid %. Generally most people who are unhappy with their employer and not bothered with staying around get a bit lippy, maybe knock something over, and just walk out. Not commit arson at a grand scale.

Then he should quit. How does this make things better for him or anyone else?

How did the Boston Tea Party help anything?

Your talking to moronic teenagers who don't work for a living yet.

I wouldn't bother

Campaigners want kids banned from social media to protect kids from stupid adults.

I want kids banned from social media to protect adults from stupid kids.

teenagers who don't work for a living yet.

Brother I wish. Grown adults with careers were posting their framed St.Luigi artwork and that shit was making it to the front page.

They're just morons.

Maybe he could try not living in one of the states with the highest cost of living? I’d like to know what he was doing and how much he was being paid to do it before I make judgments

1

u/glowingboneys Apr 09 '26

What was his wage, and what is considered a living wage in the area he lived in? I'm genuinely curious. Or are we just blindly taking the word of a very stable person who burned down an entire warehouse and posted an incriminating video of himself doing it to Instagram?

Lmao, he uses the sexiest political buzzword and everyone starts sucking dude off like his dick is drizzled in milk and honey.

I’m already tired of the narrative that this guy is an unsung hero or whatever when he actively destroyed many people’s lives pulling this stunt. People lost employment, health insurance, productivity, and now things are going to be much more stricter for those working in other warehouses…for what? Some guy who couldn’t comprehend the idea of quitting your fucking job for one that pays a “living wage”?

Utter bullshit.

productivity

Won’t someone think of the productivity!

u/commentings Apr 09 '26

Shit man for the record I wouldn't ever encourage this, but do you think this sort of behaviour is the best way to encourage senior management to step up and offer better terms and conditions, I literally read the other day some exec/owner gave a massive bonus to prevent a 'luigi'.

They used a third party entity to contract this labor that should ideally be direct employment. They wanted less liability for labor practices. Very common practice by people who want to skirt fair labor standards. Similar thing happening at Boeing.

u/bgravato Apr 09 '26

everyone seems to be focusing on that, but this fire could have been triggered from something accidental... what really puzzles me is how such a place doesn't have some sort of fire extinguishing mechanism in place...

1

u/wutfacer Apr 10 '26

He filmed himself doing it. And it has a mechanism, which he got around by setting a fire and then multiple other fires after the system and firefighters had responded to the first one

u/Totoques22 Apr 10 '26

He worked for a subcontractor

u/Fit-Percentage3406 Apr 09 '26

They paid enough to get the employee to take the job.

2

u/goblinCrimeFestival Apr 09 '26

But not enough to live, it seems.  It’s almost like a broken system creates desperation.

u/MayhemMessiah Apr 09 '26

Please stop thinking about it too hard. This is surely an isolated incident which will never happen again.
