“If you leave, you’re more than likely to be fired,” Emery said she overheard managers tell four workers standing near her who wanted to leave. “I heard that with my own ears.”

It would be surprising if the executive who gave the order was not already safely tucked away in his shelter,. his family with him.
But hey, those were Christmas candles and there were deadlines to meet.
