so, since we’re sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly here’s my contribution.
 
Last summer we had a pretty significant weather event. EVERYTHING in the city government shut down, schools closed, highways closed, the mayor declared a weather emergency. On the news they kept telling people STAY OFF THE ROADS; it’s not safe. On the morning of the event i called my boss to inquire whether the office would be open and i needed to come in to work, since the mayor kept advocating that only critical employees should be reporting to work. Thinking that landscape architecture is not at the top of the list of critical functions in society, I expected that my boss would do the decent thing and close the office. Not so. I was told to come in to work. 
 
When i got to work i discovered that my other boss was not there. She never came in. She was too worried about the dangerous road conditions. So pretty much she was in esscence saying, ‘i need to stay home b/c it’s just too dangerous, but all you peon employees are expected to risk your very lives and show up for work.’
 
Glad to know that 8 billable hours is worth more than my safety and well being to them. I find it highly ironic that as landscape architects, they are charged to protect the health safety and welfare of the general public, but they won’t even protect the safety of their own employees.
