You take leave and cancel the meetings if you can’t telework. That is what DOGE set up. Zero obligation to sacrifice your family needs to attend some meeting that could have easily been done on zoom.

Mandatory WFH in a storm is a lawsuit waiting to happen. My stupid company in Hurricanne Sandy closed our office building with full electric back up and I ended up being home and all three cars distroyed and 15 feet of water in my house, another guy got hurt severly in Far Rockaway.

It runs out our DR/BCP plan did not consider home location in his plan. So many people lived in more dangerous locations than work his decision to close office put a lot of us directly in harms way. One guy sued us.

My current home surrounded by trees. My office in a blacktop parking lot. I am safer at work today.

Anybody can sue, but that's a weak suit. There's no obligation to have an office at all, let alone keep it open for the guy living on a floodplain (who's going to sleep at work? major liability!) instead of closing for the safety of the guy who has to cross a floodplain to come in. Be serious.

Is is the lamest storm ever. Why aren't the street flooded with bodies?

The storm was a huge nothingburger, but I’m grateful that OPM was appropriately cautious in the face of what was predicted.
