There's always going to be something to complain about in these situations.

Run the busses and one gets into an accident? "They should have never ran the busses and called off"

Have class but not run busses? "I don't have the means to drive my kids to school for X,Y,Z reason"

Cancel school? "I can't miss more work due to lack of childcare"

I'm not saying you're wrong in how you're feeling/experiencing the situation, But is there any "winning" in these scenarios?

I am curious what job doesn’t give you time off.

How about multiple employers that only give two weeks off.

4-6 days for snow this year, 1-3 sick days for children and then try to plan other contingencies. Yes it makes it tough.

It is tough I agree, I also have kids. but that is more than some people get. I try to always have two backup baby sitters in case i need one. Also any good company won’t count snow days against you.

You must not work for a corporation.

I work for a healthcare company, a snow day is a snow day is a sick day. We don’t have “excused” snow days, so pardon my disbelief.

Yeah, I get that. the whole health care system is screwed here in the US.

My sister used to work for a hospital. She doesn’t have to work but chooses to do so but switched and does in home care and said it’s so much better.

I work in healthcare, too. My boss was cool with staying and working when her employees couldn’t make it in due to dangerous conditions.

That is far from enough. Laughable what we put up with in the US, especially here in the Midwest.

That’s what unions are for is it? I know other countries have it better, but we will never be like those countries. The US is just too big of a country with too many greedy rich people.
