[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a two hour school delay for anyone outside of DC. And some schools are closed. My manager is forcing me to take vacation time because my kids school is closed. He has no empathy that I am a single mom and that i have no back up today for this kind of thing. Why didn’t OPM foresee the weather delay for its employees outside of DC? They could have offered a delay or telework, but [b]here we are again[/b]. No one thinks of caregivers or their families. A pathetic response. And one clearly made by males that don’t think outside the box on these things. Women in my position are [b]shafted once again[/b]. [/quote]

Here we are again...shafted once again...

OP if this has happened to you before why are you still so ill-prepared for these situations?  
Did you stop to check the weather forecast for this week?  Did you pause to consider the possibility of school closings?  NOPE.
Did you reflect back on your previous experiences and say, "Hmmm...OPM might not offer a delay or telework so let me make some calls/precautionary arrangements just in case I need back up for such a thing."  NOPE.

Even though it's happened before you didn't learn a damn thing from those prior experiences.  You know who you should be perturbed at OP?

Yourself.[/quote]
