We're expecting an ice storm today but have been told we need to be in the office. Anyone who doesn't want to risk driving is being forced to take the day off.
Except, our company already works from home two days a week. We are all set up and able to work from home. Yet they would still rather punish anyone who doesnt want to risk their lives and property just to be in the office.
Half my team called off today. I don't blame them for the crappy day I'm about to have. I blame the manager who decided to draw a petty line in the sand just to show us who is in charge of our lives.
The freezing rain has started. I fully expect them to close the office early at this point. But here I am, sitting in a half empty office because I've already used most of my PTO…
