Am I being unreasonable

We are supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow with it impacting the afternoon commute the most. I am not comfortable driving long distances in that kind of weather. My work normally discourages wfh but I am concerned for my safety driving in a winter storm. Am I being unreasonable to ask to work from home when the roads are hazardous?

Apparently “respect” is a selling point now?

We seem to have reached the point that treating employees with respect is so rare that employers acknowledge it. They're saying “we know everyone treats you like scum, but WE will treat you like a human being.”

My boss called me in Sunday (I don’t work sundays) to shovel snow, took almost 9hrs. Tells me to take the next day off, so I stay up a bit late (1am) and de-stress. Then I get woken up at 5am to a phone call to come in THE DAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE OFF. and I can’t afford a “mental health day” atm.

Preferential treatment towards parents

I originally posted this in r/childfree, so if hating on parents triggers you, you might wanna skip this post. Just for context, im in the UK. My manager always preaches the whole 'people with kids get priority with bookkng leave', and emphasises that's particularly important during summer holidays or any time that kids have off school. Due to my team being small, we can only have one person take leave at any given time, even though I think we could easily cope with 2 people out at the same time for a week every now and then. A particular colleague had 3 weeks off during August last year, blocking anyone from taking theirs for the majority of the month, and I joined the company in June, so it was far too late to book anything for the summer, so I thought, well, I'll just book some leave in the summer…
