Boss: "if I can work, you can work."
Also Boss: (works from home)

I had a boss once that lived across the street from the office. I lived in the south suburbs where snow would blow from cornfields onto roads and create massive snow drifts that had to be cleared. A blizzard hit and I brought my computer home just in case I couldn't exit the neighborhood. Sure enough, massive snow drifts piled up. I told him I was unable to come in, but I'd be happy to work from home that day. No dice. He was able to come in just fine. I had to walk out to the main street and take a pic of the massive snow mound in the road before he begrudgingly let me work from home. I'm happy to say I have a better boss these days.

Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?

I did stay overnight on occasion to meet deadlines at my old job. When mentioning how uncomfortable sleeping in the car was, my manager bought me a cot. It's like... thanks I guess, but kind of missing the larger point...

Don’t worry. We’ll deduct the cot from your pay.

I had a similar experience a long time ago in Boston. I worked for a real estate brokerage as an administrative assistant. For anyone that might not know, the Boston real estate market is basically dead unless it's between March and September. I had already been sitting in the office by myself for months, doing absolutely nothing. No calls. Nothing besides an occasional trip to the bank.

We got so much snow the city shut down. Everyone was told not to drive, all public transport was shut down, people were skiing in the streets. My boss fired me for not going into work. Apparently I should have walked for 3 hours in 2 feet of snow so I could sit in an empty office by myself doing nothing. His office was a block away, in another brokerage he owned, conveniently nestled right underneath his apartment.

holy shit that's it.. it's been the zeppelin lobby all along, holding back climate change legislation.. they've been hiding out there in the shadows, biding their time, just waiting for the waters to rise..
