Lost power thanks to the crazy heat wave in the Bay. (116 yesterday)
Am I still expected to be online and working via my Hotspot? Its hot as hell inside the house.
Can I take the afternoon off to head out to the beach and then work tonight when I get home and power is back on? My manager and team would totally be cool with anything (I think, from what I could tell from past experience and company culture). What would you do?

If you have nothing pressing, take the day off, most managers understand if circumstances out of your control prevent you working (as long as it is a rare occurrence). If you have something due then move to the Starbucks or somewhere else you can work.

Ask your manager.

I've had my power go out, wifi go out, work laptop completely fail on me; you name it lol. In those scenarios, I just texted my Manager to talk about it.

Was either just taking the day off (obv no PTO used) or if I wanted, doing my work another time and/or taking a few meetings using a hotspot.
