Why not let you stay there and leave when it was safer? Because you need to change employers to someone who doesn't institute such unyielding policies that's why. It made no sense to order you to leave and put your safety at risk yet they didn't care about that, just their policy. So screw them, find another better employer. They are out there.

Agreed. I'd just ignore the order to leave.

Anarchist!


Several years ago I was told to drive to California mid winter.
Told my Boss I need new tires before I head that way. He said I'll get you new tires when you get there.
I told him straight up I was NOT moving the truck until tires were replaced.
Things were nearly slicks!
Guess who won?

I haven't heard of the Peter Principle, thanks for teaching me that

I'm the inverse Platapus, if there's even a chance of precipitation I'm begging to stay home and work remotely.

DoD tends to frown on that sort of thing.

I don't suppose you'd want to let yourself freeze to death on their doorstep just to make a point?

Too much paperwork.


Besides I have to request my death, in writing, 30 days prior for approval.

All employers frown on that but you have to make the best decision for your safety.
