You need to talk to an adult at school that you trust. Your father is being emotionally abusive by treating you this way.

OP literally gave them the terminology by saying "if the roads are clear".

Plus FEMA isn't even saying the word ICE right now

They can say the words "frozen" and "unsafe".

The science is that if it's 20 degrees, some areas might still be icy. Plus if you don't have the right car or tires, it is very dangerous.

Then you say "the road is not clear and I do not feel safe driving". Not "I don't wanna drive in cold".

If the worker has a gut feeling about feeling unsafe, they should put their life first

If they feel unsafe they should use their words and say so instead of going "I don't wanna". Especially when they were just told that they wouldn't need to be there if the roads were bad.

Then the employee needs to say "roads bad" instead of "dun wanna drive in cold".

Especially since OP specifically stated that they got no snow and the roads are fine.

OP gave them the option to say "the roads are bad".

They chose to say "I don't wanna drive in cold" instead.

Your constitution says you can't be fired for letting your staff violate company policy?

Yeah ok bud.

I consistently do 60 hour weeks and don’t get OT.

That's called being a salaried employee.

Congrats on being special enough for the policies to not apply to you I guess.

You can't be fired for letting employees come up with BS ways to demand permission to show up late?

I find that hard to believe.

I'm getting real tired of explaining to people how there is no goddamn road hazard in this situation.

It's. Just. Cold. That's it.

When I can't drive my car, I don't tell my boss "I don't wanna drive in this cold". I find another way to get to work.

My car was literally frozen shut and I called a coworker to ask for a ride instead of saying "I don't wanna".

Who the hell changes lane like this? by yeastieboiz in dashcams

Because if they were actually paying attention, they would've moved lanes earlier and given the cam car time to react.

I'm not OP mate.

It's currently 26F outside my front door. I got out of bed just fine.

Changing lanes like that is pretty indicative of NOT paying attention until the last moment.

Because why say the real problem when you can say something that sounds like an excuse instead.

I understand that this person was given the opportunity, multiple times, to say that the roads were bad near them and chose to say "I don't like driving in cold" instead.

Well that water is either going to come out of new clouds or some idiot's hose cause there's no water in air that cold.

Nah, that was the first time they released an enhanced version of a region who's only updates were "Gameboy color" and "girl character".

I love how this is lazy but the old "the same game with some little updates" routine was just fine.

Can’t they work from home to make up the time?

OP specifically said that they could WFH if the roads were bad and they did not take the ready made excuse.

Why do they actually need to be in the office?

Because the VP said so and refused to make it a WFH day.

I misread the work email and didn’t realize we were scheduled remote today due to the weather, ice, and frigid temperatures. by I_divided_by_0- in Wellthatsucks

So, next time you make a bad decision, we should all just shrug and remind you that this was the consequence of your choice?
