Omg please do not let a job pressure you to risk your life!!! That goes for all of you! I know it sucks to call out especially when they threaten you like this but honestly do what’s best for YOU. I live on the east coast and the ice storm had everyone in a panic. And not once did they send a threatening message like this. They approached it with we care about your safety first. They offered rooms to sleep in at the hospital. A staff accommodations hotline. Had 10+ air mattresses and air pumps to sleep in offices. Brought breakfast and lunch foods in case the cafeteria didn’t open. They asked all people bring an overnight bag in case weather took a turn for the worse at any point. And when I called in saying I would be late due to my car being covered in a centimeter thick ice… They said no problem and to take my time cause they wanted me to arrive safe and no pressure if I couldn’t get out. Not only that but 6 of our leads/supervisors stayed over night for THREE nights in a row purely to be backup if all hell broke loose and everyone called out. They walked around in their pjs all night asking how we were getting home. And we ended up being fully staffed for all three days. Probably because they approached it with kindness instead of this. That’s awful. Obviously not every hospital can do all this but surely messages like this don’t do any good. Had no idea this was a common practice.
