It was - 12c, so not spectacularly cold, and he had a heart attack.
Very misleading headline.
-12 is not that cold to you? Are you by any chance a polar bear?
If you grow up in a colder climate, no, it’s not bad because you’re dressed for it.
-12C is only 10F. It can get down to -25F (-32C) here in the coldest parts of the winter. For example, our high temperature this coming Saturday is supposed to be 2F (-17C).
That’s still deadly cold and should require extra precautions. Even Chick-fil-A gives their employees little heated domes despite being psychotic enough to force people outside when the standard drive through has worked fine for generations.
Yes, you’re dressed for the weather, as I said. You wouldn’t go out in shorts and a t-shirt and stand there for hours. But if you have a good jacket, gloves, hat, boots, and maybe even snow pants, you can stay perfectly comfortable and safe in cold weather. My point was “cold” depends on what you’re used to.
Most security and construction jobs around here provide employees with big branded coats and winter hats for them to stay warm while they’re doing their jobs, I would assume it no different elsewhere.
That wouldn’t have helped this guy, though, since he died of a heart attack.
Like they chained him up outside w/o a jacket or something. Thanks for the clarity.
but they weren’t just freezing temperatures, they were subfreezing!
love it when an entirely factual headline has an obvious attempt to spin it for clicks
Very misleading comment.
Care to elaborate?
I mean this sounds like a fast food or retail employee. Always left alone to spin a sh!+ storm of plates.
