Hobby Lobby CEO tells employees 2 come 2 work bc wife heard words from God

[BUtterfield 8 41,818]

David Green, the billionaire CEO of Hobby Lobby, has determined that his employees – 43,000-plus people – shall continue showing up to work despite the upheaval caused by the coronavirus and social distancing orders. He asserts that they all will be fine because his wife, Barbara, received a message from God that they interpret as much.

Hobby Lobby promises advanced store cleaning, limiting employees from travelling internationally (and domestically, except when necessary), and a continual of online shopping.

“We…look forward to a return to normalcy very soon,” their statement concludes. They also direct readers to get guidance from the CDC, which currently recommends social distancing and staying home if you can as appropriate preventative measures.

Yet, in a letter to employees dated on Thursday, March 19, Green made it clear that they will keep stores open and continue operating. Green opens by noting that the United States has “experienced several calamities and disruptions over the centuries,” comparing the pandemic to terrorist attacks and world wars.

“I have every confidence that we, as a country and Company, will sustain and thrive again soon,” he claims.

He then begins telling the readers about his wife, Barbara. He describes her as the family’s “prayer warrior.”

Green describes how Barbara had a divine encounter that should qualm any concern for their family – and Hobby Lobby. “In her quiet prayer time this past week, the Lord put on Barbara’s heart three profound words to remind us that He’s in control. Guide, Guard, and Groom.”

He explains, “we serve a God who will guide us through this storm, who will Guard us as we travel to places never seen before, and who, as a result of this experience, will Groom us to be better than we could have ever thought possible before now…we can all rest knowing that God is in control.”

“I ask that you all pray for our health and a return to normalcy very soon,” Green concludes.

Hobby Lobby showed up in my city about a year ago and I had never been more disgusted by a company in my life. Even Chick-Fil-A is better than them.

A bunch of Bible-thumpers through and through

What kind of drugs are he and his wife taking?

This better blow up and they better get dragged like Game Stop.

I hate that they always write stuff like this is this pristine-coated language designed to disguise manipulative bs... cuz it f*cking works, some people will absolutely read sh*t like this and think they're being a part of something profound and they're not, they're just very gullible...

This is a result of greed and lack of empathy, not drugs...

Yeah, but even as a joke, I don't like that there's a connotation that this is a product of unsound mind - people who are behind this know what they're doing and are doing it very deliberately

There’s a difference between being religious and crazy.
