Well looking on the bright side. If death threats are starting to become common for the decisions that companies make then maybe WFH should also be common to protect employees. Can't target employees at an empty office. The employees will have to be careful with social media however.

Personally I’m leaning more towards wanting to handle the death threats themselves.

Because ya know they would continue and now you have to arm your home because corporate greed

Hate this idea a lot

because or corporate greed

Corporate greed didn't force these lunatics to have a gamer moment. There are ways to express displeasure that aren't fucking death threats man.

Never once did I say corporate greed was a root cause , just the logical cause to the specific predicament I was speaking of.

No shit the terrorist is the source of the issue.

Well it seems like there we're no death threats and the CEO largely made this up basically as an excuse to close the office.

For the record it was a single employee, there were no people sending them death threats.

I like how you included a Lemmy link to a Reddit thread. We're gonna go full circle soon!

It would certainly be funny if someone linked this thread there.
