Yep, I was there. You're going to hear a bunch about this incident over the
next few days and I thought I'd let you know the story, or what there is of
the story so far, from one who was there. Probably hear some things you wont
hear on the news or read in the papers as far as what led up to this
tragedy. Management is in full-on, info clamp down mode at this moment.



Well, *** 'em. 


Jeff (is that you or are you reposting?), I know it's natural to blame
management for everything after a traumatic event.  It's natural to
blame someone, and management is the most convenient target.  But think
about your own reaction when you found out there was a shooting.  You
were not behaving rationally yourself (e.g. yelling at fully armed
police).  Management are people too.  They were all probably scared and
confused just like you were,  Why would you expect anyone to calmly do
the rational things at such times?



Because it's their fucking job to be a cut above.  That's what they get
paid for.



They get paid for managing the facility.  Having a workplace shooting
is not something that happens that often.  You can prepare for it, but
when it does happen no plant managers are really trained for that.


Does a manager now have to be trained to call employees in shielded rooms in order to let them no what's happening. ***, that should be pure instinct for anyone with half a brain. And aren't managers supposed to have at least half of brain?
