Forced to Come to the Office in a Snowstorm?

Unless you earn a living as an emergency responder or snow-plow operator, there's no reason to report to work amidst a winter storm. Or, at least that's what logic and humanity seem to dictate. But who said cooler heads prevail at work?! Unfortunately for middle-of-the-ladder employees, we rarely get to see our bosses' "softer side." In the northeast, we have experienced some the worst snow conditions in 114 years--and even that didn't make employers change their rigid tune.

Missing work when it snows is serious business.

Employers should take care and facilitate their employees.

That's bad. Employers should think about their employees.

This the major reason I left the Northeast for Florida. No driving in snow and ice. No shoveling snow. You get to a point where life is just too short.
