Stephen in Brooklyn, New York.
00:05
Good morning.
00:12
And there were cars in the ditches all along through there.
00:16
So I just called the boss standing there on top of Elliott Bridge Road on the hill there and told him I wasn't coming in and got cussed like a dog because he made it to work.
00:25
And I'm like, yeah, but you live across the street.
00:29
There are cars in the ditches on both sides.
00:32
One of them is upside down.
00:33
I'm not coming out in this.
00:36
So, yeah.
00:37
If it's not a...
00:38
If the building is standing, I'm expected to be at work.
00:41
K.O4VEC.
00:43
I heard that.
00:48

00:50
you know, we always...
00:51
If we're looking at as far as the company, liability is an issue because we...
00:57
We can't ever tell anybody they got to be at work.
01:01
It's something like that happens because then they get in a wreck or something, they're going to try to sue us for pressure on them to come to work.
01:09
So he said, nope, you just come in if you think you can make it.
01:12
If you don't, did you just stay home and use your vacation?
01:16
Not my problem.
