Snow days and working

hello jayman followers, I come to you today to talk about various jobs that remain open on days of severe weather. Now don't get me wrong some places have to remain open like hospitals, fire departments and the like. Yet when it comes to a call center or some place like that that can afford to close and allow their other center in some other part of the country pick up the extra calls for the day, then why not close? Im writing this because my business partner works in this type of environment and so did I not too long ago. I used to work in an airport. And, instead of them allowing us to go home before the weather got really bad all they did was ground the flights and tell us that we had to remain open to accomodate the passengers.

Now wait one damn minute! Who is gonna accomodate me when Im trying to get home in this mess? Some employers claim that they care about their employees, yet in truth they care about their bottom line. If they dont make their sales quota for the day then they are not too happy.

All I have to say is this; We (JayMan Photography) will not do this to our employees. The safety of my employees is just as important to us as generating business that day. When the weather is predicted to be very bad we will tell our employees and clients that we will not open today and will resume business on the next day.

This type of care for a company's employees have changed alot over the years. Many of these businesses are not worried about the safety of their employees and have little remorse for what may happen to them on their way to work in severe weather.

Thats all for today people check us out on youtube.com/jaymanphotography www.myspace.com/jaymanphotography & our website www.jaymanphotography.com
