Lack of eclipse plan.

Oh yeah. Luckily my route isn’t in the city but the traffic will be crazy everywhere. We don’t have the roads to support it, should see this place after a Bills game and that’s only 70k people. So at 4 or so when everyone is trying to leave it’s going to be ridiculous.

Well we are paid by the hundredth of a minute

So stupid

1-800 SICK DAY

That’s what my wife said. Kids are off of school, just take a day. Told her it will be the easy OT to sit in traffic. Plus, it will probably be cloudy here anyways

Eclipse plan
#1 come to work like normal
#2 bring a flashlight with a minimum of 5 minutes battery life
End of plan

I’ve already experienced a solar eclipse a few years ago and all it did was make the cicadas go crazy and the storm coming in start going insane with lightning everywhere. I will most likely just go take my lunch break when it happens so I don’t have the curiosity of staring at it

What contingencies are there that you believe are being overlooked?

I'm not sure what exactly they can do to be honest, but at least an acknowledgement and attempt to plan would be judicious. At the bare minimum, at least add more routes instead of the cut fest that is every Monday. Try to get as much delivered before the event begins because once it does not much is getting done most likely. I can already see the scenarios where clueless onlookers cause accidents and we get blamed as always.

Why ask what the plan is? It's literally not your problem. Even though you may be IN the problem, still doesn't make it yours.

....or maintain the status quo and write off the results as an "Act of God"?

That's what I would do.

This should be fun. I don’t hear to much about it. Is everyone going to see the eclipse? I know it’s coming but is it just a NE thing?

The path crosses a good portion of the US. Not quite 100% where I live but I would only need to drive a short distance if I really wanted to see it. Around 95% if I look out my back porch. Schools are all closed here too.

Hi beam or low beam?

Hi beam or low beam?

just leave it at auto-beam. If you don't have that, you need to buy a Nissan Altima.

A total eclipse probably qualifies as 'act of God' better than any other thing they try to pass off as that.

My question has been answered. The vast majority of intelligent individuals on the site say business as usual. Will be interesting to see how management reacts to the obvious delays. I just wish the company would be more proactive than reactive sometimes.
