    In no way, shape, or form am I removing any responsibility from her.

    But, it is entirely a Work Place Accident, as per my example of an on duty police officer drinking and driving. You should be equally upset, though, that the industry and their practices, or shady groups within it, directly contributed to this happening. That’s why we have OSHA, that’s why we have rigorous vetting processes for skilled workers when it comes to dangerous work and career fields.

    A lot of people, as soon as more evidence came out pointing to her, let the industry off the hook. But, you should never fear for yourself or your peers’ lives at work. Your work shouldn’t be killing you. They cut corners and hired a cheap ‘SME’, and then when that came back to bite them in the ass they said ‘Look, see it’s all her fault. Not us!’

    Yeah, sure boss man. You didn’t directly contribute to Sarah from HR’s death. Got it.

    Edit: friends in the industry say that the company she worked for or through bankrupted their credibility and no one will work with them. So, there’s that silver lining on holding higher ups accountable. But, industry failures led to this, and management absolutely does have blood on their hands for putting cost cutting practices over employee health and safety.
