    There was a candle factory in Mayfield, KY that was hit by a tornado a few years ago. Management had made the production workers stay during the storm, threatening them with being fired if they left.

    The factory, a building of corrugated sheet metal, was destroyed by the tornado. Several workers were killed. The rest were fired.

    I hope that no one in Florida sticks around for some shitty job until the hurricane hits.

      I remember reading some sob story about how people weren't going to get their beloved Christmas candles that year. Like fuck you, what about the workers who died and their families?

      But muh candle treats tho.
