[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every PA, NP, nurse, and health tech needs to call out tomorrow and Thursday. Let's see how many surgeries can get cancelled before the MoCo elite start expecting more from MCPS.[/quote]

Are you insane? Even Sunday and Monday hospitals and doctors offices were open.  Because the world doesn’t stop because it snows.

Even my kids’ tae kwon do and gymnastics studio were open and teaching today.  Because those people don’t get paid unless they work unlike McPS staff.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Shut down the hospitals and clinics until they force MCPS to stop hating working parents.[/quote]

How would that work? Do you think the world revolves around MCPS?

If you're a parent it does. It turns out, some parents are workers. I know that's a foreign concept to Taylor and the MoCo elite.

Working parents should call out. Shut things down. I'm sure the rich folks in Bethesda would love prepping for a colonoscopy only to have it cancelled at the last minute because they don't have the staff.

Things would change quickly.[/quote]

How would you feel if all teachers went on strike until parents collectively managed to get their kids under control or do out of school assignments?  Your jobs are not any more important than ours.[/quote]

You're the one seeking special treatment. Other people are expected to work. But you claim you can't possibly be expected to shovel your car out.[/quote]

Not the prior poster (my road still hasn't been plowed) but arguing that hospitals should go in strike because the mcps school administration won't open schools is crazy work. [/quote]

How do you expect working parents to staff those hospitals if MCPS won't let child care open?[/quote]

Our hospital has been closed. They aren’t sure about tomorrow.  [/quote]

Hospitals don’t close.  That’s kind of the entire point of them. [/quote]

Our next door neighbor is a doctor and had to be at an early shift on Monday morning when roads weren’t cleared much.  He had to shovel his car away from snow berms on the road at points but he made it.  I’m sure his patients were grateful.  [/quote]

Spouse of a long term care facility worker here.  Like hospitals, they can't and don't close.  Ever.  Not during Covid.  Not during snow.  Our lifestyle has always been that at first sign of snow, spouse packs a bag, sleeping bag, pillow, and air mattress and we don't see them until the snow is pretty much cleaned up.  It's been up to a week some years.  We also have always had a four wheel drive vehicle that can manage bad weather - though this storm was a challenge.  It becomes all hands on deck for them and if you don't make plans to stay, they will send someone to pick you up and you have to find your way to the closest road that can be navigated.

As for childcare, I never used MCPS based childcare because I didn't want the risk of being tied to the school closure schedule.  I found other care that worked for our lifestyle, which is that both parents work but in snow, I am the only parent that can parent.  And, I used a lot of leave which meant some years we didn't have much or any left for vacation.  [/quote]
