Wouldn't this really depend on the job? Maybe there is a assumption up thread that it's a tech office job being discussed? But many jobs, if you had to leave to pickup kids because a bus brokedown, a no-change deadline - and you were working the afternoon shift at a wendys. digging trenches for a sewer line, paving a road, processing a line at an ER - all sorts of jobs - I think there would be no choice but for others to pickup the work being skipped. So I think it's very job dependent. Even some tech jobs probably can't just be postponed till the next day.
