his employer(outside of NOLA) basically said "we don't care if you live in a tent, get back to work now." What company employs your dad? I want to make sure I never deal with those vampires ever again.

Here's a perspective from a different company. We have about 200 (mostly) commissioned employees affected by the storm. Their local branch offices are destroyed. We have worked our tails off getting them their weekly pay that is normally mailed to their local offices(we still pay by paper check due to the high turnover in our business). We have reached out to each one and offered to overnight mail or EFT their funds. Many of these poor souls are asking us what can they do so that they can get back to work ASAP. They have evacuated all over the country and are asking about setting up shop right where they are or coming to the home office to help deal with customers from the affected areas. Our executives are working on a pay continuation plan for some period of time. I wasn't surprised how we responded at the regional office, but I have been pleasently surprised how compassionate the corporate big wigs in New York have been.

Sounds like our company. My outfit had 41 employees in the NOLA office, and they are all fine. My company is making it clear that they are wanted at any office in the country they choose to work out of, but that they can take as much time as they want to get it together.

I think it would be ok for you to tell us who this company is, so we can reward them with our business.
