[QUOTE="whiskeyagogo, post: 813791, member: 12350"] I believe the OP's point was that on 12/27/10 IS employees were still required to come to work even though there was a state of emergency and driver dispatches were suspended. Nothing more, nothing less. The point of us "desk jockeys" not coming to work is we can work from our houses without the need to do the whole snow traffic bit. We often perform rollouts or support on weekends or nights from home, so it's not like this is a novel concept. Nearly all IT companies allow telecommuting, especially during extreme weather; UPS is the exception in this way. Drivers cannot "work from home" so obviously there cannot be "snow days" for drivers. I'll be the first person to say I would not do a driver's job. It is a long miserable weather sodden way of life with too many measurements and too many people watching. You are, however, comparing apples and oranges IMHO. [/QUOTE]
