With all due respect, boss, work is not everything, and no one should risk their life for it.
While it’s true that the majority of us spend most of our day working or doing work-related tasks, we don’t consider our jobs the only important thing in our lives. Love or hate our jobs, we should all have more going on in our short lives. This is why there should be limits to how far we are willing to go for a job. No one should give them all for it, especially in unsafe situations like the one described in the story below.
Many blizzards and snowstorms are making their way around the country at the moment, which means that most people can’t really go outside. Snow is piling up, the roads are slippery, and it’s generally freezing, so it is best advised to just stay at home and wait for the storms to pass before we get on with our lives, right?
Well, not according to the upper management of this restaurant. They don’t care that there were 8 inches of snow this week, or that the ice on the roads has yet to melt; they fully believe that work is more important. When they heard that their employees had no way of getting to work in these conditions, they demanded people power through it and came to do their jobs.
When one employee, who lives three miles away from the restaurant, informed her boss that her car got stuck and that she couldn’t come in, the boss went as far as demanding she walk to work instead. Yup, you read that right–he wanted her to walk three miles during a blizzard to serve at a restaurant. He didn’t even care that the restaurant was basically empty due to the weather; he just wanted every single employee to be there like he was.
This demand led another manager to stand up to him, in an attempt to make him see just how unsensible and irresponsible his claims were. Did it help?
