Sounds like a bunch of rich people complaining about having to pay the hired help extra to deal with undesirable work conditions to me.

  Right? It’s telling, in a very Stanford Prison Experiment way, how that works. Take my girlfriend. She used to work as a nanny for a couple, two lawyers for the State. They were strictly middle-class, and paid the same to my GF as they would for daycare (my GF had taken care of their two children when in daycare, until the center closed). It was mutually beneficial, as my girlfriend’s own daughter was the same age as their kids and knew them. Seattle and surrounds are not known for heavy snow, and don’t have the infrastructure to deal with it. I work with the Fire Dept. Was called in when a big dump ended in a State of Emergency being declared. My girlfriend’s employers got a message from the State, not to come into work that day. That they could work from home, and were advised to stay off the roads, as they were particularly dangerous with over two foot of snow, re-freeze, and largely unplowed. They called my girlfriend (who lived with me, about 5 miles away) and, seemingly oblivious to what was coming out of their mouths: “We will be working from home today, as it’s too dangerous to drive. So we’ll need you to come in an hour earlier, thanks."
