Snow days are just about the only thing we have left that is a true holiday, forced by nature and circumstance, where we are forced collectively to pause our lives and play outside with our children and take a collective deep breath as a society. If you can’t do your work, “flexibility” from everywhere that is.
When this employee woke up to over a foot of snow, they had more than half expected to find that they would not be going to work and the the company would use one of the designated “storm days,” effectively a snow day policy that would see closure of the facility to reduce the risk and likliehood of safety concerns when traveling to the facility.
However, they found that corporate management had merely delayed the starting time of work, instead instructing employees to “assess your own situation” as to whether or not they could travel to work safely. This not only shouldered the responsibility of the decision of safety onto the workers themselves, but it also shouldered the responsibility of missing work, too. See, employees would now have to use their own PTO to miss work, instead of getting a paid day due to the “storm day allotment.
