Is this their attempt to get out of that negligence suit where that person died and they tried to force arbitration from the clause in a free trial of Disney plus?

Article says the erroneous menus weren't distributed. So, probably not.

It should be trivially easy to prove either way.

There will either be records on when it was changed or when it was discovered and fixed.

If there isnt, then it didnt fucking happen and Disney is lying.

Well, as that was a restaurant not managed by Disney, but through an independent pub owner in their public market area... I kind of doubt it.

If you want to screw with your former employer, screw your former employer. This is criminal.

This sounds like a scapegoat.

Removing the allergen warning is basically some form of attempted manslaughter.

Which Disney apparently sort of did on their own, but now they’re funding news stories about an employee who went rogue ! Ha see Disney isn’t at fault!! Right?! 🙃

Murder. Firing a gun in a crowd is not manslaughter because you don't see exactly who you are killing. You know it's going to kill someone and that's the goal so it's murder.

That's why you disable their account before telling them they're fired.

You mean you don't give them 2 weeks notice on firing?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The US is at will, nobody gives 2 weeks for termination unless maybe it's a layoff. If a company has grounds to fire you they just fire you. Most will be smart enough to disable accounts before you're even out the door.

Doesn't sound like an account access problem, sounds like a shared password problem.

No, it's definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

Outsourced IT and not all Apps were not AD authenticated, is my guess. It's probably a request sitting in a queue waiting for SLA.

Jesus, if he had only done the allergy thing and not the profanity or wingdings it's likely nobody would have noticed and people would have died(!)
