eacapesamsara@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoHomesslessness in the US is about a coin flip off for death or suffering, every hour of every day. Quitting your job or getting fired for insubordination prevents you from collecting unemployment, and most Americans have less than a weeks expenses saved due the the last 60 years of low pay and exponentially rising expenses, causing homelessness if you lose your job. You might die in a hurricane induced flood, but that risk can seem less than slowly dying while homeless or in prison for being homeless.

How likely are you actually going to get fired for not showing up one day during a hurricane?
I if the entire staff just didn’t show up that one day they’re probably not all going to get fired.

In hindsight, your job is probably secure now that they are short staffed (which is fucking disgusting).

If flood waters are entering your place of business you’re not going to have a job tomorrow.

I don’t know why people are missing this. If your fucking workplace gets flooded you won’t have a job anyways. If it’s so bad you’re moving parking spots your workplace is toast anyways. Get your ass moving!

Did it wash into the building, or just the people in the parking lot trying to save their means of transport that allows any type of work in most parts of this country?

I’m guessing you’re not American.
Very likely. Every worker is replacable and they may be able to replace you for less money too.

Born and raised here. 1 day of insubordination isn’t the end of the world, especially when the world is ending (for other reasons). Finding, and training a new person will take more than the 1 day of productivity lost.
