Yeah because them killing the cat is going to play sooo well for their reputation.
I just really don't think that they would care. It's easier to spin it as, “We didn't know the cat was there, what a tragedy” than to appease all the passengers who are now late and frustrated.
Why do you hate train drivers so much!?
A small delay for a single train, on a network of thousands, is not enough for the "evil train company" employees, that you seem to think that they all for some reason.
The world isn't quite as black and white as you seem to believe it is!
One, it's not the train drivers calling the shots here; the train drivers (like all employees) are stringently controlled by management.
Two, it's not “hate” to observe that companies just don't care about ethics and well-being. I thought most of us agreed on this, even the company executives themselves: when ethics conflict with profits, profits are always the higher priority.
Three, this isn't what “black and white” means.
Lol I really doubt that.
