In the midst of yet another historical ice storm which has cost innocent lives and left hundreds of thousands without power, I get an email from my boss and copying my director (who are both located out of state) asking me why he hasn't seen an update to the items he asked me to work on this week.
Of course he neglects to mention that I told him that roads weren't safe for travel, and that I was struggling with power and internet outages at home, and effectively unable to work remotely.
Not once has he or the Director of my team asked how we are holding up through the storm, or if we were safe (or alive) but as soon as he gets a chance he asks why work isn't being done.
I responded to his email, reminding them both that I told them about our limited connectivity and unsafe driving conditions, and provided some links to news articles so they can “refresh their memory” about the current events happening in Texas.
I expect to get put on the shit list for this remark, but at this point I'm over it.
How is everyone else's Friday going?
