Yikes. The company seems to be at fault here, treating employees very (very!) poorly. Ugly stuff.
What worries me about sensationalist media coverage of a story like this one, in the middle of a pandemic-induced global economic slowdown, is that the media coverage itself could motivate other, copycat episodes of employee violence.
- whimsicalism 6y ago> What worries me about sensationalist media coverage of a story like this one, in the middle of a pandemic-induced global economic slowdown, is that the media coverage itself could motivate other, copycat episodes of employee violence. Hopefully it'll scare employers into treating their employees better, or risk labor conflict like this.

Not the realization that the products we rely on are built with exploitative practices. But, "what if the exploited people fight back?"
