[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm due at work by 8am, arrived at 7am hoping my NF could use a few hours to telework (DB is a fed who works from home, DW is an attorney who works downtown but she did not go in today). I let them know I needed to leave by noon in order to be able to have a parking space at my home. They showed no appreciation that I showed up and were miffed when I left. Lesson learned. Next time bad weather is predicted, I'm staying home.[/quote]

This.

The schools and gov shut down last week due to freezing rain and ice storms(Atl area) last week. I keep up with the weather to accurately plan my travel. The first day I made every attempt and made it there by 9(hr behind) the next day mb texts me that if I need to come late it's ok.  I explained to her that the weather and roads would be clear that a.m. But the storm was starting at 1:30/2 so I would need to leave early. Mind you the day before db, an attorney didn't even go downtown for work because his firm closed and mb works from home.  So she seemed salty I would want to get out before it got bad out.  But my safety comes first and I had a bad experience last year trapped in the ice.

So I arrive at my start time and her parents are in town for my charges bday. He's turning 1.  Mb tells me scheduled a photo session for him across town that afternoon and we would all be going! I remind her of the weather & she insists it will only began as rain. We end leaving an hour late and on top of that she suggests I follow them 20 miles in my own car so the grandparents can ride with the kids, and says that way I can leave early from there. Granted this is further from home than my job but I'd never been before. We are there taking pictures until it's sleeting and snowing and the granddad tells me that they're there and I should probably go do what I need before it gets bad.  Mb had a major attitude and seemed upset I left.  Even the mayor requested employees be sent home between 2-4 so roads could be salted. I left at 2:30.  Come pay day she had deducted every hour I was not able  to work when it stormed and even underpaid me by "mistake". She also said the gas reimbursement didn't apply because I wasn't driving her kids and because I wanted to leave early so it was my decision to go early.

learned that next time I stay home and that my safety is no concern of hers whatsoever.  I'm just another bill to pay sadly.  [/quote]

Please leave and find another family that uses their brains and cares about your safety more than their purse. [/quote]
