Micahchoo, I'm confused, which often happens to me.
Isn't a decibel a measurement of sound...? And Thunderchild, is that some type of strain, if so, where can I find a seed.
This is a marijuana chat page you know.
Apparently, Decibel is a cultivation company with a facility called Thunderchild, don't know anything else.

They seem to be taking the money in.

Want to provide some specific examples, so that people don't end up thinking you're merely some kind of disgruntled ex-employee?

After an endless chain of failed harvests, due to poor management, lack of experience, and no training for staff. They laid off 2/3 of the workers (management all kept there jobs) with a pretend back to work date. 2 mos. Later they rescinded.
This is after many, many instances of wrongful dismissals and bullying by management.

So the people who were hired to grow the crops failed to do so? And cowardly management told them they were being laid off instead of fired? Yeah, those chickensh!ts should have been fired, too, lol. Especially because, if you state that you are merely laying someone off instead of firing them for incompetence, it can come back to bite you when you then hire people who can and will do the job.
Come to think of it, considering the money in even a halfway decent commercial cannabis operation, the management should have been fired for gross negligence for hiring untrained/unskilled people in the first place. It's not that difficult to find a set of gardeners, FFS - you just stop being so greedy and offer a wage that's higher than that of the kid who is mowing your lawn.

Hired to perform tasks directed by management. Not allowed to question or even comment on their procedures. 2 min of training. It was not the workers fault. It was poor management by people who had no idea how to grow.
Well, at least if you're laid off (as opposed to fired) you can file for unemployment benefits (at least in my state), don't know about Canada.
Can't really boycott them, because it appears they haven't produced anything yet. I'd be pissed if I was an investor!!!!

I assumed the person meant that he(?) would like everyone to boycott the entire corporation. Which, apparently, has produced a good bit of product - because, on May 25, it reported:

So definitely plenty of products that a person could refuse to buy.
There might be something to what you're stating, IDK. How long had you worked there, after your two-minute training session, before you were told that your services were no longer required? Were the procedures you mentioned something involving, say... some sort of exotic or rare device that required suspension of common sense in order to operate properly? If so, yes, you should have been given actual chaperoned hands-on training, lengthy enough to ensure that you went through all the not normal cannabis gardening procedures at least once each.
If, on the other hand, it's a question of your direct boss simply being a f*ck-up who gave you bad orders... Yes, that person would still be at fault. However, I am not a big fan of that whole "malicious compliance" thing that seems to be popular today. Sure, it provides some fast/easy entertainment value for the person(s) involved in it. But it's not exactly a great long-term employment strategy, much of the time. For example, if the boss tells you to cut all the flowers off the plants - and you do, but then get fired when the facility has no product to market, you get fired, contact the CEO, explain what happened, he fires the person who was your direct boss - but you're still without a job, plus the person in charge of the company thinks you're an idiot (and, depending on circumstances, might tell his secretary to circulate a memo warning the people in HR not to ever hire you again for any job). On the other hand: You're told to do something moronic, you realize it'll harm the plants because, well, you have at least ten functioning brain cells, so you quietly refuse (and note in your daily journal what the exact sequence of events was, of course, for possible future reference at a hearing)... the plants continue to be as healthy as plants generally are, produce a great harvest, everyone is happy about that - but your boss discovers that you'd completely ignored his orders. You get fired for insubordination. You contact the CEO of the company, provide documentation of what happened, strongly advise the person to pay close attention to the next crop (and to the idiot manager) so that the company does not lose it and, therefore, lose a significant amount of money. Also mention that, other than being forced to interact with the idiot, you really enjoyed your time at the company and would love to work there again... if/when they fired the destructive manager. There's at least a possibility you'd get your job back. If there aren't 10,000 employees, it might be a pretty good chance. If your warning/prediction vis-à-vis the next crop ends up being like you predicted - and assuming you're at least minimally qualified for the position - you could even get a shot at the (now former) manager's job.
<SHRUGS> Assuming the entire division wasn't set up to fail. Which is somewhat rare these days, outside of the oil & gas industry.
