We are expecting another 12 to 15" of snow in addition to the 6" we got yesterday.
There is a "weather hotline" that we were advised to call to see if we were requested to come in.
I called at 7am and the message said that the office was OPEN and we were asked to report for a "normal" business day.
ARE YOU EFFIN' KIDDING ME ? ! ?
It's insanely snowing at my house and there is NO WAY I'd venture out on the roads while putting my own and others life at risk to "report" to work! My job is not a vital one like in a hospital or the likes, so why be on the road?
I am salaried employee. There are others that are able to work from home as they have remote access to the system, so they do not have to use a "vacation" day to stay home in these conditions. Who knows if they are actually working lol. Since I am only a peon, and do not have remote access, I HAVE to use a personal day if I feel that traveling to the office is too dangerous. I think it is quite unfair, since I am salaried. I have worked through my lunches at least 50% of the year and stayed late countless of nights to get my work done. You'd think that I would be "granted" to stay home this one time without having to use a vacation day! I am a little annoyed... There is no point to fight the system, they will not listen nor care. In 10 years history, the office closed 2 times due to inclement weather...
My husband's work decided to close last night for today's storm, and they get paid regardless. It's nice to see that there are some places that still value people's safety first...
Thanks for listening! lol
