At Maryland General Hospital in Baltimore we were only paid for the two days the city shut and we had to use our personal time for this. For the other 3 days of the storm we were told we could not use our personal days to cover our time. So what happen we did not get paid. Even after calling work to get transpotaion and one even called me back, I still was not paid. Now how greatful is that.
Very sad. I’m retired so I stay up till all hours and usually don’t awaken [other than to walk the dogs] until it’s early afternoon. Snow or not.
If you have a Union, you might want to talk to them. If you don’t . . . I’m sure there’s some way to include “paid snow days” [cumulative] each year.
Unfortunately people don’t always do the ethical thing when it comes to costing them money.
In Europe, they use the trains or live within walking distance to their businesses. Europe has crowded cities that Americans would not want to live in. That “acre with a house and a two car garage” thing, probably from our English forebears’ gene.
