It snowed pretty hard once in Alabama, and the roads got icy so they cancelled work. Management told us that we would all have to use a day of PTO for this unplanned vacation. I told my boss “Fuck that, I’ll walk to work. You’re not getting my PTO.” and he said “You can’t do that, the building’s locked.”
I was prepared to become an Issue, but the next day they must have realized how illegal that paper trail was because they retracted the PTO thing.
A similar, much more severe storm happened a few years later, and I told my boss that I was absolutely not driving to work in my little sedan. He told me he would come pick me up and that I was a big baby, then shows up sliding around in his Prius with no chains or anything. After barely making it in, no one else was at the office and everything was dark. He made me work the full shift anyway before letting me go home, and HR said they wouldn’t give me any consideration for working a day more than everyone else.
