Boss expected me to work during blizzard travel ban.
It's up to bosses to be understanding in that struggle. They have lives to live, too, after all. But the boss in this story was not so understanding. Even though the blizzard was preventing his business from running as usual, he still expected his employees to go out of their way to be there. This defied logic and left those under his employ feeling like they needed to look for a new job. If you were in his boat, what would you have said to your boss? Read on for the details and leave your judgment call in the comments.
