Receive text from work: We will be opening at noon due to inclement weather.

Reverse process to go back home. Got here 15 minutes ago, have to leave soon if I want to get to work ontime.

I think I will call out because of their bullshit.

Thoughts?

Edit: I decided to go back into work, got on the train, and immediately recieved the text that WORK HAS BEEN CANCELED.

BUT IVE WASTED 4 HOURS OF MY LIFE GETTING THERE

I see how that's a pain in the ass but you're already up and moving and your work day will be shorter. I say save the call-in and go make that money.

But I would have to leave now. Spending four hours of my day on public transportation, not including getting me home, is kind of bullshit. It is also bullshit that I got the text half an hour before work started. And I have a ton of bullshit to do.

Thirty minute notice is absolutely bullshit. I would be livid. They had enough information to make a decision well before then. Even people without too long of a commute or need for public transport etc have left by then.

I assume you have made your decision one way or another by now, but if it was me I would call out and let them know I was specifically doing so because their laziness and/or incompetency left me no choice and if in the future they would like employees to show up for half days on weather days bother to make a decision in some sort of responsible timeline.

I went with your advice and went back in. As the train was departing the station, I received a text saying that work has been canceled 🙃 🙂 🙃
