[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be a dangerous move for opm to rely on telework as the solution for bad weather given the many who can’t telework. I guess the rest of us don’t exist.  Yay I get to lose more leave days!

Honestly though it’s on trend for fed govt . I’ve been feeling more and more every year that my non- telework fed job just hates parents and wants us all to quit. [/quote]

There won’t be enough snow to warrant closing the government. Employees without telework agreements would get a snow day if the weather was worse but it’s been a few years since we’ve had a decent snowstorm. [/quote]

It’s a joke for those of us who can’t telework- over in the school forums everyone’s saying to get your contingency plan in place because it will be too dangerous for teachers to drive to school but it’s fine for the rest of us to drive to work?[/quote]

You don't understand. In these sorts of events, major roads are usually safely passable, but only if there aren't too many people on the road. It's a density issue. So the goal is to remove a swathe of the population from transport, so others can go to work. Children and school buses are vulnerable, so they're the first to be told to stay home. Nobody cares about the teachers, and the parents of those kids who need to scramble. If you're expected at work, you're on your own to get out of your neighborhood and onto main arteries or public transport systems. The goal here is to save lives on the road.

Other peeps, DO NOT clutter up the road if you don't absolutely have to. Leave them free for people like PP. Thank you.

You’re kidding right?  Staff safety and ability to commute is definitely an issue- a lot of them can’t afford to live near where they teach and commute from far away.

As far as preaching people to stay off the road, people will be out driving to go sledding, to the movies, etc. Happens every snow day.[/quote]
