As Hurricane Milton prepares to circumcise the United States, please remember your job isn’t worth it. If your area is under an evacuation order, please evacuate, even if your shitty job is telling you to stay and show up for work. Please stay safe.

How the fuck is it not extremely illegal to tell (or even force) someone to work when there is an official evacuation order?
Because
FREEDOM©®™
- some assembly required, not valid in all states, may cause premature death
* Taxes and fees apply
At will employment. Even if it is illegal they could fire you the next day with no repercussions as long as they don’t say, “I’m firing you for (ABC illegal reason)”. You’d be surprised how often employers fuck that up and get sued successfully.
I’d imagine it is illegal or at the very least that you don’t have to obey that them telling you to stay put. It could be that the companies don’t give a shit either way
You can always leave, but they can always fire you for it.
Very true, I’d just imagine that even in the US it might be an unlawful termination or some such thing
Right to work…
I had to look that up. I have heard of the term but never knew what it meant. Sounds like a law made so that unless you’re unionized, you get no benefit from collective bargaining and whatnot. It does say “not to be confused with ‘at-will employment’” which is about termination of employment. I’m a bit confused but I think the gist is that no, the US does not have such protections?
The US is terrible with labor laws, by design. It’s absurd, especially immediately after civic when all these"essential workers" were called “heroes” but weren’t compensated as such. And when nobody was applying for jobs that were paid trash and got shit on by management and customers should the only reaction was “nobody wants to work anymore”.
No, people wanna work. They just don’t want to be paid minimum wage for skilled positions and spend half the day being berated
Companies make jobs as awful as possible, cry about how nobody wants to work and at least here say “this is why we need immigrantion”.
I don’t deny that many places do, but also, not wanting to pay union wage or even livable one is a reason to bring someone in who’ve they’ve already beaten into thinking living on half-wages is okay.
At will*
Right to work is about not having to join a union. At will employment means you can quit/get fired for any reason* or no reason at all
* there are a few exceptions to this, like you can’t be fired over membership of a protected class (being a certain race, sex, etc) and there are limited whistleblower protections in certain areas. Not sure if not showing up to work applies when there’s an evacuation order, especially considering one may live inside an evacuation area and work outside (or vice versa)
Tell your boss that they can stay and die in the hurricane if they want to, but you’re leaving. And then actually leave. Fuck those assholes.
I think it’d be better to tell that and then not even leave, just stick around working after you’ve told off your boss
But… why? The entire point is to not be there when the massive wall of water and wind slams into the building.
It was a joke
and don’t forget to tip your boss
One of the first lessons I learned is it’s better to take the half day then wait for management to let you go.
Office will keep you there until the roads close before letting you go home. But then how do you go home?When I lived in South GA, and we were expecting snow for the first time in 5 years, I begged bosses to let us go before it got there. I lived less than 10 minutes from work and used to live in Michigan…but we know what to expect. They said things will be fine.
Accidents galore
I don’t think cutting right through the middle counts as circumcision.
Milton’s on shrooms and has an axe
Dammit, Milton! I’m calling the FDA!
The U.S. is getting gender reassignment surgery.
Gender switched from “nice” to “micropenis”
Look Florida is obviously an injured limb that’s festering. It needs to be amputated and Milton signed up for the job. We tried to offer it to Helene but she decided to take a mountain vacation during this sprint.
BOBBIT Chopping motion with hand
The hurricane botched it because of climate change 😔
You say circumcision, I say castration, ehhhh potayto potahto
More like a c-section
Cursed avocado
I know it already passed but I want to share that I came to work when I got 5 separate alerts of this.
