[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is stuck at work until 3:30 he has coworkers who are there until 5. At worst they will put them up in hotels if it isn't safe to go home. Unfortunately, some jobs just have to get done in the office and can't wait. It does suck though.

If you don't have one of those jobs, making staff stay is pretty hard to justify.  Of course, probably some of us who have been saying that it sucks for you to be stuck at work are also taking advantage of others being stuck at work when we go to Starbucks, CVS, Safeway etc and those stores are open and staffed.[/quote]

OP here. They finally called and let us go at 1pm. Fwiw, if I had gotten off at 3pm, I would have missed my bus miles from the metro.  It started snowing at one.  Not a drama queen. I'm realistic.  Literally nothing I do at work could be considered essential.

Starbucks closed early. Everything but super markets and even they have the decency of closing early.  Of course we are thankful to those people who have to stay late.

I can't imagine people staying until 530. The roads did not look good.

I just cannot fathom why am employer (other than a hospital, needs to be open during a state of emergency.  [/quote]
