I’m a yard jockey, i pretty much move trailers to a dock at a warehouse. The truck has no AC, I live in Florida and work day shift. Yesterday was my first rain day since I took this position and the warehouse told me that one of the refrigerated trailers needed fuel, i told her, “it’s raining, I’ll do it when it cools off” and I get a response “we’ll you have a job to do…”
When my boss stepped back in the office I asked him if I’m expected to move trailers in the rain, and he said yes, and proceeded to brag how he was moving trailers on the yard in hurricane winds+rain.
I didn’t have to, but explained that I didn’t want to get sick from the rain and ruin my clothes for being exposed in the rain for so long and I got zero sympathy.
Am I justified that i kept my happy ass in the office till it stopped raining/thundering?
