      So… If I’m reading it right… As soon as an executive knew the situation, they made efforts to fix the issue. The fact that was required at all is ridiculous, but at least they tried to fix the issue.

      Meaning it was the middle management bureaucracy that killed the child. Yet again proving that middle manglement always lives up to their name. I wonder what’s going on with whoever made that initial decision that not only led to the death of an infant, but a $22.5 million lawsuit directly from their ahitty decision.

        I highly doubt the executive cares about all the workers, or they would change the policy. They cared that their friend knew, and judged them on it.

      I mean, it’s sad that they were more concerned about a lawsuit than the health of the people involved, but that’s just showing that this sort of thing is effective. The exec wanted the request approved so that this very thing didn’t happen, but it was apparently too late. The whole thing is very sad but I’m glad that’s the position the execs had over “lol, no”. The exec wanted it approved so it seems like the request was denied by someone lower down and by the time the exec was informed there was nothing to be done
