An ice weekend in St. Louis
If you haven’t heard, St. Louis suffered an ice storm that began last Thursday. More than half a million in the region were and have been without power.
Dana posted and took some great photos, despite the lack of electricity.
The home office of my firm was even closed on Friday, due to the unsafe driving conditions.
It became a business advantage to have the two of us who work from home full time, in Portland, Ore. and here, in Charlottesville, Va. online, on the server, and working away on Friday in our disaster-free locales.
A thought to consider for employers resistant to allowing employees to work at home. Sometimes, it’s necessary, and an advantage when disasters occur. And they will. Oh, they will.
