how about a company that makes you use vacation day when they say we are open and if you don't show up , we"ll use your earned time off. that is how these folks work. with these situations, a company that puts a mark next to your name if you don't show up, they are gonna pay the price down the road. if you show up and they shut downearly, the balance was also taken from your earned time???
this gal has been there for nine years, rose to lower mgmt and gave it up, saw the way people were treated up close. just riding out healthcare and better soc.sec pay

 

Yup, I worked for companies like that and am glad that it is all done with.

 

Sounds like everyone will be able to arrive safely at work if the storm hits after 9 and they're letting them leave early(if I'm reading it right?). Sounds like an ok place to me in regards to them handling the weather. I've never worked anywhere that has had a "stay home the weather is bad day". I didn't know they existed!

I have stayed home many times due to bad weather and I've been happy to burn a vacation day.

 

you are right with the hype!, I'm old enough nor to say "tikcuf"! maybe even earned the right to say"tikcuf" since I'm still there and were still in business. this one is one where they'll be right and at 68. "I HATE BLIZZARDS!!!!

 

I don't mind a good blizzard as long as I (we) don't have to go out in it!

 

let me get this straight office opens a 8 with lt-mod snow. 1o it is heavy snow w/ white outs. ok you can go now????? then take your hours so your vaca pay is short. pat on the back works I guess. add the fun with your VW on the road.( i don't drive my ram150 anymore). you gotta or should treat you employees better, to this day if we have to will pickem up and get home, those day of just in time are rare but we will if have to. understand where you guys are though.

 

NOAA has a low of 6 tonight for our area so we have some Oak in the Liberty tonight, we'll have both the pellet & wood stove going through this little cold snap coming in.

Our county has had about five houses that were lost because of wood stove related fires so we won't over use either of the stoves, we used four different ways to heat the house the last cold stretch, wood,pellets,oil and propane.

 

Blizzard conditions on heavily travelled 4 lane highways are really dangerous. If the state tells non-essential employees to stay home, businesses should do the same. People still remember what happened with the blizzard of '78.

 

It was 14 this morning so we turned the pellet stove on for about an hour and loaded the Liberty up with Red & White Oak. We plan on putting in another load of the Oaks before the wind chills come in.

NOAA keeps dropping what we might get for snow, I think it went from seven a few days ago to 3 this morning.

 

Stay warm and safe.

 

Was 12F when I got up @ 6 this a.m.. Currently sitting @ 5 with a strong NW wind. -5 F up in North Bay (3hrs. from us). Supposed to drop down to - 11 tonight and down to -24 tomorrow night. It's on it's way to you and GAS and the rest of New England.

 

posted in battening down the hatches as well. this 7-10 miles from us, next town over.

 

Picture from my Brother-In-Law sent this a.m. from his new retirement home in Apex North Carolina. He moved out of New Jersey to get away from the miserable winters...................................

 

Ocean front living at it's finest.........................

 

our cottage on the vineyard is the little pink house dead center of avatar. luckily we are some 15 feet above high water. that place was built in 1870, so our guess is that it will be there tpmorrow!!

 

Do you have friends there who can check tomorrow? Or a webcam? I hope it rides out the storm.

 

bunch of folks, worst danger is the wind. we face NE so as this storm goes by we'll get waxed. just put new roof on last fall. really should be ok after almost 150 yrs.

 

thought this was a yttihs day!!! these folks beat it by several miles?https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/948926687307329536/pu/vid/636x360/C5_m3njYyChwsFLY.mp4
