The firm I work for is not closing for the hurricane. Staff were told to work from home or take PTO if they could not come in to the office (and the building is now closed until Friday). Is this normal?!

Do we work for the same firm? That’s what mine did. I’m in Orlando. I think it comes from prioritizing billing, dismissing the reality of even a Cat 1/Tropical Storm still doing damage, and general not caring about people with families who don’t have stay at home wives to manage the family for them. I have kids at home and am still expected to work a full day. It’s mentally exhausting and so difficult to focus.

I know of a firm that literally said you have to get your bills in and basically you can’t blame the hurricane for your late bills. I think it may be common but it is absolutely ridiculous
