It really depends on the country your business is in.

For example in Australia, employers have a duty under workplace health and safety legislation to provide a safe workplace. And similar legislation exists in most countries.

If you have an employee who is receiving death threats, you do nothing about it and then they are killed (or they even just sue you) then you would absolutely be liable.

Report sure, but noone is going to do anything about those reports.

You do know that the employee can simply sue you.

If you're running a business you have duty of care obligations as a Director.

You seem to be completely ignorant of the seriousness of situations like this.

I'm not talking about not-reporting, i'm talking about the uselessness of reporting... you report, the police does nothing. Who are they going to sue? You did what you had to do, the police will do nothing, and suing the police for not investigating 5000 different people from all around the world... well.. good luck with that.

You are still liable.

Yeah, that’s still not how the real world works. Liability is there even if you really think it’s all bullshit. No sane corp will ignore it especially not in the US.

You clearly did not read the post you're replying to at all. They are not talking about ignoring it or claiming that they are not liable.

You have clearly no idea that you are still liable if you are not actively reducing the threat against your employees.
