2021 forest fires

I work for a company that bills itself as very employee-oriented. It has sold itself that way since it’s inception. Last year one of our offices and most of that office’s employees were evacuated due to a forest fire. Some of my coworkers neighbourhoods were decimated. Nobody received any additional time off for the evacuation. The company made remarks at staff meetings about being “strong” and that everybody was “in their thoughts.” It rang so hollow in the face of what everybody experienced. These people almost lost everything. They were terrified and driven from their homes. And this was as Good Company. They give no f*cks about us.
