Mike...they have issued inland hurricane warnings for Miami and a couple of other cities.
SEFL: Please don't take my comments personally. I wasn't trying to say that ALL employers would fire people, but some will threaten. My husband's boss is one of them.
I didn't take it personally. Sometimes I think employees confuse the business policy with the personnel policy. That and the pressure the NHC is under about issuing hurricane warnings because of the impact on businesses.
Last year the employees to the south pick-up the slack. Looks like this year the shoe is on the other foot.
SEFL... i am i guess an employee in a larger firm, but i am not a lower level employee, i understand the pressure management can be under to make decisions, however today one of the senior guys said.. no one is getting another "free day off" after Katrina. To me, that is very hurtful, because after Katrina i was flooded in for 4 days with no food and power. As a woman who has travelled to some of the worlds most beautiful islands i hardly deem that as a free day off.
But Kudos to employers like you.
