Reply to comment by jcolinr in Officials in Buffalo, New York, face questions about storm planning and response as harrowing accounts emerge of death and survival by Lazy-Lawfulness-6466

Apologies if my post seems like an “I told you so” because that is not what I’m saying. And I agree with and know that most people are living paycheck to paycheck and have shitty bosses, etc. There is a lot to learn from this experience. Be prepared. Help others if you can. Let’s make 2023 a better year for all.

A lot of store/shift managers that make a dollar or two over the employees they supervise are still living paycheck to paycheck. They don't want to be at the store anymore than their employees do but if they had decided to close the store and cancel shifts they would've gotten their asses handed to them if the storm turned out not to be as terrible as it was. That's really what it comes down to, out of touch higher-ups that don't live in the area, or that don't have to leave their houses, thinking that it'll blow over like all the other storms that are forecasted to be catastrophic. You see it with hurricanes all the time which is part of why people don't evacuate.
