There are two stories here. One is that a middle aged man in poor health unexpectedly died right after finishing his shift. That’s the story you read. The other is that there is a systemic abuse of power by management to overwork higher seniority workers until they quit or are in too poor health to work. That’s the story I read.

Well, it’s your own damn fault you’re so damn fat
Shame, shame, shame
All the food on the shelf
Was engineered for your health
So, you’re gonna have to take the blame
