While there may be truth behind some of the details mentioned. The messaging was all wrong. Like something out of a "Black Mirror" episode. It's a good reminder that, in the eyes of business analysts, everything is a chance for profit. It's also a good reminder that the context behind the messaging from leaders of a business is as important as the message itself.
Managerial communication around significant events should be handled carefully. Just because some important trending news is nothing to you personally, you never have any idea of how important it might be to another person. To you, it might be like a cloud passing by on an otherwise sunny day. But someone else might see a coming storm.
My boss just posted on our scheduling app how Dolly's passing will make the company a lot of money....
Story: ThrowRArrow
I live and work in Tennessee, and a couple hours ago my boss posted to the message wall about how the company is gonna make lots of money since Dolly passed away yesterday. Our company is close to her statue in Sevierville. They've already reassessed their projections for the next few weeks. It's disgusting.
I'm just so burnt out and defeated with the corporate dystopian h*ll we're living in.
RIP Dolly, you will be missed.

From a business perspective, I get it.From a being human being perspective, he seriously f** up
Alienating staff, showing himself as a ghoul.
It could have been said “There is a chance that due to Dollys passing, more people might be coming to pay their respects. We need to ensure that we can accommodate them and are prepared for it”
Too late now, dude missed his Empathy 101 class

Why are so many managers idiots? A humane way to address this would be to tell staff that a lot of Dolly fans will be arriving, and the company will need to add more hours to handle the crowds so their visit is pleasant. Some people are just have greed as their r*ligion.

I'm sure that a lot of businesses nearby are thinking the same thing. It's horrible, but that's American greed for you.

What an a*h*le, but sadly, he's probably right.I was a manager at Walmart the day Dale Earnhardt d**d at Daytona. I'm not a NASCAR fan so I wasn't aware of what happened. Then suddenly we got a flood of people coming in looking for Dale Earnhardt merchandise.
Within 30 minutes everything was gone. I could have written the number 3 on some used toilet paper with a Sharpie and it would have sold.
I caught a guy trying to walk out with an inflatable Dale Earnhardt #3 race car that was hanging from the ceiling as part of a promotion by a vendor. It was suspended from the ceiling on aircraft cable. I knew that because I was the one who did it. You needed wire cutters to remove it without damaging it. I had no idea how he reached it, I used a scissor lift.
When I stopped him he claimed a manager said he could have it. I told him I was the manager and that he most definitely wasn't told that by me or anyone else. I told him to hand it over or get arrested. He handed it over and I told him if I saw him in the store again he'd be arrested for tresspass.
While walking to the back to put it in the office several other people tried to buy it. After that, I went over to the aisle it used to be over and found a bunch of merchandise all over the floor. The would be thief had dumped it on the floor to make room to climb up on the shelves to get to the top. Looking at the security footage later confirmed it.
