Reply to comment by digitelle in Western NY death toll rises to 28 from cold, storm chaos by novotlr

Jobs I can see it’s amazing how many bosses don’t give a shit. When I was a cashier my boss wanted me to come in when the roads were closed in case someone suddenly needed printer paper. Too bad we can’t hold corporations accountable.

I lived in Boston during the marathon bombing and they wanted me to come in to work during the lockdown/manhunt the day after. They do not give a shit.

That seems like a safe time to be out. I remember that day I lived well outside of the lockdown area so mom and I decided to go out shopping the helicopters circling overhead made us realize we may have made a mistake.

I knew people when I worked at Target who got stranded in the snow because corporate did not close down the stores due to the weather.

Its disgusting how some companies and bosses expect people in no matter what. And a lot of people are too scared of losing their jobs to say no

A literal majority of the nation lives paycheck-to-paycheck. They’re not scared of losing the job, they’re scared of them and their families going hungry or homeless, which is very likely to happen if income is lost when you’re living on the razor’s edge between getting by and perishing.

Oh, I know but thank you for driving it home further. I came from that level of poverty. My dad losing his job lost us our house
