I had to call out today because a blizzard was starting that would eventually whiteout the entire upper east coast.
It was a good call by me since I probably wouldn’t have been able to get back home. Public transportation stopped running at like 7pm.
By the end of the day, there was like 2 feet of snow in New Jersey. People in NYC wouldn’t understand what it’s like to live in the suburbs. Snow gets cleaned up quickly and efficiently in the city within a few hours, and there’s subways to get around. If you’re outside of the city, a blizzard will pretty much trap you in the house for the entire day.
Missing a day is really bad though. This firm has almost no leniency with that.
