Whenever some employer says we're a family, I tell my coworkers about how much I hated my parents but I always look out for my siblings. I don't tell the job shit. Screw around, I'll vouch for you, I'll cover your shifts. That's what a good union rep does. Yeah it's a family, an abusive one.

Worked for several LE departments and agencies. The Chief, Sheriff, district Chief, or whoever always trotted out that "we are family" line when it was convenient for them. Interestingly, when they noted shifts spending time together off-duty; whether fishing, cooking out, bowling, shooting, or whatever, they started moving people around in order to break up those friendships and alliances. The hierarchy was suddenly "threatened" by that showing of family that they previously endorsed. 😂

Twice I have gotten reprimanded at work for not being able to physically get to my place of work after hurricane flooding. 1st time I was 18/19yo and the road to get out of my apartment complex was 6ft deep, my manager threatened to fire me if I didnt come in (management was having to do all the work at that location), I was walking distance from another retail location so out of spite I put my uniform on and walked over there and clocked in, the manager there was super excited to see me lol. Technically according to HR I didnt miss my shift. The second time a few years ago, (Im 38 now), the creek I have to cross to get to the highway to get to town flooded about 10ft over the road, manager flipped out and wanted to know why I didnt own a boat knowing the area around me flooded every storm season. He sent the service manager to pick me up in the highest truck they could find between the company and owners' personal fleet. He couldnt even get within 2 miles of me lol.

In Florida right now working retail, during a tropical storm warning, management made the call at 9pm last night that since it was only a tropical storm and the predicted hurricane force winds had moved a little bit (20 miles) further away, we needed to be open. Full staff, 12 hours, and zero customers. This incompetent management team has done the same thing, with the same results, every time we've been threatened with a tropical storm, costing the company lots of money, and have never been called on it by higher management or owners, yet we in the trenches, coming in at the potential risk of our own safety, leaving our families to deal with things without us, are threatened with termination of employment for not coming to work.

Tornadoes are a whole other ball game though. Management lives in denial that it can possibly happen, so they're never really prepared for the possibility. When you're in a factory, there's no TVs or local radio station or anything on, and the noise of the factory completely masks the noise of the warning sirens. You're completely at the mercy of management to give you a heads up that there's a tornado warning and you're all supposed to get to 'shelter'. Often, they just don't tell you. Whether you're gonna live or die in that situation boils down to just straight up luck.

Yeah this hits hard. Worked for an engineering firm years ago (first major job I had as a kid). I commuted everyday about 2 hrs to 2 hrs and 30 mins everyday to get there. One winter there was an snow and ice storm that came through that the roads impossible to get on. After spending an extra two hours in the morning to try to get my car out it wasn't going to happen and my wife (at the time gf) made me realize just because I dug it out here doesn't mean the rest of the roads aren't going to be shit so I called out there morning. Next working day I came in he called me in his office to lecture me about the importance of being on time and making arrangements. Most everyone had called out that day and even the day I returned hardly anyone came in because roads were still kind of shit, but he was there and told me that he made it just fine (even though he only lives like 10 minutes from the office). Tried to tell me I did make every effort I could to be in that day, but after two hours of digging my POS car out even if I had managed it the highways were going to be treacherous and I had learned my lesson from a previous time I made a trip in a snow storm when I didn't have to. He suggested next time I find lodging in the city someplace next time and I said I would be open to that as long as it's something I could expense since it's an unneeded expense on my end. He flat out told me that it wouldn't happen and I needed to decide how dedicated I was to the team (the same team that had also called out and most lived locally. This was also after I had worked a Saturday or two editing some plans). I quit two months later.

My wife worked at the post office for 7 years. She literally never got a day off due to weather. She ran in blizzards, tornado weather, and flooding. Her boss even picked people up a couple times in his vehicle bc their personal vehicles wouldn't make it to work bc of flooding or snow.

How do you tap into the mindset of a middle management toadie of a big faceless corporation so well? The number of times I've had similar experiences like this could fill a book I'll giv e you one of the big ones; about ten years back we had the coldest day on record so bad it was declared a state of emergency like negative thirty with the wind and these clowns at my store had the cart guy bringing in carts.........bringing in carts in minus thirty degree weather.....

I've only had to work in -22 outside gathering up trash bins at a truck stop. So cold the bags would break if you pulled on them at all. Ended up dragging each and every trashcan to the compactor to dump the trash out. Meanwhile my radio is going off every 15 minutes, the manager asking me where the hell I was, stuff inside needed to get done too.

Been several times I went to work with the power out. Company usually told us to wait around to see if it came back on "just in case". Once they even wanted us to clean while the power was out. Because nothing is safer than mopping the bathroom floor with a flash light. Luckily it was with pay... but still pretty stupid.

Its never been this bad for me but you can really feel the pressure to come into work no matter how bad the weather is. And its a fun game to play as they want you there but they also know if they try to FORCE you to be there, thats gonna have some legal repercussions if you get hurt. But they make sure you know that subtle "disapproval" will be there when you call to say "Hey, there is like, 5 inches of snow on the roads and the plows havent been by, so im not going to make it to work today" Its like 3x as much fun when they play the wait till the last second game before admitting they cant be open in this weather. "We gonna play it by EAR. If its bad enough then we will shut down, but we will wait to see what happens before we decide."

I briefly worked in a factory in the UK. One day a huge snowstorm blows in. The UK does not cope with snow very well. The roads just clog as a lot of people cannot drive on snow. We asked if we could leave before it got worse. The owners refused. We all left anyway. The peeons all got home The owners had to spend the night there as they got snowed in.

Went through this last winter. Had a Jr. manager left in charge, drivers were supposed to come in late. Our dept looked at the situation, knowing we were low on material and drivers were starting late so we'd run out of material, and that we basically run our area without management. Jr. manager insisted we had to be in on time. We passed drivers just leaving as we arrive. Within 20 minutes, a truck was in a wreck, trucks were called back, and we went home by noon having processed everything we had to do.
