The DNC has a $3M debt with $7.5M in the bank compared to the RNC that has $45M and owes nothing. Simply put, they can't afford it. I'm surprised they gave him anything.

They also gave him a summary execution.

You've got to come to work EVERY day. No weak ass excuses like not being alive any more.

It all makes sense now- Seth Rich WAS actually robbed! They just killed him first. Now we know why they claim it was a "botched robbery", simply because they weren't able to rob him until they shot him a few times and had him finished off at the hospital.

First, fuck the DNC.
BUT Do people really expect that an employer would pay an employee after they died? An employer only owes salary up until the date of termination, in this case his date of death.

My company gives a shit. We agreed to have a recently deceased workers Christmas bonus go to his widow. That shit sucks, and anything we could do to make his lo ed one's life easier, we were all for.

Sounds like a great company :)
I'm just seeing a lot of entitled people saying things like "death toll", "cheap bastards", "docked for being dead". A business might go above and beyond their legal requirements to provide something for a family if the loved one dies, but they are by no means required or expected to do that (unless something is written in the contract, or the death occurred on premise/while they were performing their job, in which case there could be liability).
Of course the suspicion is that the DNC (or people at the DNC) were directly behind Seth Rich's death, if that was the case then there would be a huge amount of criminal and civil liability.

They gave him a five day grace period before cutting his salary. Jesus only needed 3. Just saying.

A literal death toll.
