I knew people when I worked at Target who got stranded in the snow because corporate did not close down the stores due to the weather.
Its disgusting how some companies and bosses expect people in no matter what. And a lot of people are too scared of losing their jobs to say no

A literal majority of the nation lives paycheck-to-paycheck. They’re not scared of losing the job, they’re scared of them and their families going hungry or homeless, which is very likely to happen if income is lost when you’re living on the razor’s edge between getting by and perishing.
