'Everything Is a Story' Inside Wyrmwood Gaming's Narcissistic Funhouse

I was in the market for a gaming table a couple of years ago and did some looking around and found wyrmwood and then their video series. It was their own published videos that made me decide against using them. People in the article call wyrmlife propaganda - man, it failed in my case. I cannot imagine anyone who has worked with wood or in manufacturing watching wyrmlife and thinking it is a well run company.

A few years ago I made a game table (lots of lessons learned there lol) for a friend. Maybe I should start selling them lol. (ignore the legs, they were just temp in this photo)
The article speaks to someone who was seriously injured by equipment they seemed to know was faulty.

More particularly, the person was injured, and when they returned for light work .... they were laid off.
That's a lawsuit.
Yes... but they don't pay very well, and that person was off work for a time while incurring medical bills. Can they afford the suit?

We will find out- per the article, the lawsuit is already filed. Because OF COURSE IT WAS.
You never terminate someone returning from injury. To me, that's yet another red flag of an incredibly poorly-run company.

I don't know about the particular state laws there, but here in Oregon we have BOLI which will handle those complaints for you. Most states have something similar.
Any by serious injury, I meant permanent, like losing fingers, or serious, like breaking a hip from tablesaw kickback--something you need a hospital for. Things like this (it's ballistic gel, not actual body parts so it's largely SFW)

Nearly fifty sources? I'd say they've done their homework proper.
Just finished reading that article. If even half of the facts represented in it are accurate... yeesh.

And what's worse, is the guy decided to film himself making these comments about sexism, OSHA, HR, etc. Talk about making it easy for the judge.
