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!

Most people don't understand how dire their situation is when mother nature shows up. Especially immigrants who may have never experienced such weather.

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?

Water got to roof level and the building was destroyed.

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.
