    Just fyi the people who own/ run it are assholes and the people who work there are miserable for the most part, so this isn’t surprising

      You really should be providing a source when you make these kinds of claims:

      Joel Myers’ Wikipedia article is pretty damning. He does sound like an asshole.

      Myers faced criticism in 2005 when he supported the National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005, a bill … that would have prohibited the National Weather Service from publishing weather data to the public when private-sector entities, such as AccuWeather, perform the same function commercially.

        report found Accuweather “did not take reasonable action to prevent and remedy harassing conduct.” Joel Myers, who was president of Accuweather during the period covered by the agreement, signed a settlement where AccuWeather agrees to pay out $290,000 to at least 39 women, institute in-person training for managers to identify harassment, and send harassment complaints to a 3rd party till at least 2018.[13][14]

        Hmm that lines up
