I am a assistant manager of a hardware store. In the Midwest we have been hit hard by some strong (for us) winter storms. I have always been to type to drive big Jeeps on and off road as a result I enjoy the challenge of driving in the deep snow. During the last 2 storms 2 of the other managers have not been able to get to work making it much harder on me and the store manager. When it comes to work I do whatever it takes to take care of my responsibility including getting to work when I am needed.
Is it too much to ask a person of responsibility to show up at work? (I'm not talking about a minimum wage hourly worker) The rumor is I will have my own store soon. I want to know where the line is. I feel it is the same as a person not coming in because its raining and all they have is a motorcycle and don't want to get wet. I say drive whatever you want, but have a plan in place to take care of your responsibilities. They have the option to spend the night at the store, or get a ride from somebody else. I was asked to take the head cashier to work witch I was happy to do. They feel it is no big deal even though as a hardware store these are very big days for us. We need to be open so people can get what they need for the storm.
