[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious here and I'm not the PP with the policy-if you have the option to telework, then you have the option to go to work. Why would you choose to telework but expect your nanny to travel to you? Employers, what's your rationale for this? BTW, I worked yesterday, it wasnt' that bad (where I am, don't know about other areas).[/quote]

I teleworker Friday - because I had the option and I would always prefer to telework than not. The roads were fine - I could have gotten to work on time, but if someone gives you the option to telework, wouldn't you prefer to?  [/quote]

How do you know the roads were fine if you teleworked? Unless your nanny lives in your neighborhood, you don't know what she went through to get to you. My employers live in the city. Their roads were fine. I live further out in the suburbs. My roads were a crapshoot. I leave home while its still dark, and everything was still frozen. During the day everything melted. I leave again once its dark, and everything froze over again. My employers, who didnt shovel or salt their steps, had a huge puddle of melted snow/ice at the foot of their steps, which by the time I left in the evening was a slick patch of black ice. All of this because they couldn't be bothered to actually go into work, and so assumed conditions weren't [i]that[/i] bad. If I had broken something, and was out of commission for a while, what do you think would happen to my job?[/quote]
