Should you be allowed not to go to work when the weather is horrible? I couldn't drive my 2007 Corolla to work in the crazy weather that it is out here in southern Massachusetts, and my manager asked me to Uber. I basically spent 85 bucks riding to work and back when I make like $140 bucks a day. How is this fair in any way?

You essentially worked half your shift for free just to pay for the ride there. Companies don't legally have to provide "snow days," but a manager asking you to spend 60% of your daily take-home pay on an Uber is completely out of touch. In the future, it’s worth being firm and saying that the cost of the commute makes it financially impossible for you to work that shift.

Not even mentioning how much you had to spend, it’s. It cost to expect people to come to work in dangerous conditions. I would have certainly asked for reimbursement first if they wanted me to Uber to work.
