Why doesn't work have snow day's like school did

I been seeing a lot of videos of people driving in the snow and some of them getting into car wrecks because of it. I'm really curious why doesn't work have snow day's just like the school does. It allows people to stay at home when the weather is bad.

I agree, but when i was in school we didn't miss many days because of snow.
If we got stuck everyone ran to the back of the bus.
Or someone close ran home and got the farm tractor to pull it out.
Back in the days when people actully worked together.

@Virgo79 the funny thing is that the west side of this city is flat, they call it the 10-Mile Flats…the geography changes on the east side. We lived in a house when I was in school that was on a top of a big hill. The gravel road was about a quarter-mile long and could wash out easily in a hard rain and have to be graded and some more gravel added. But that was easier to drive up and down than the hill going up to each intersection at the sections on each side of our driveway. My friend’s mother had a Volkswagen Beetle and that’s how she got up that hill when most other vehicles couldn’t do it. She let my friend drive it to school when the roads had snow on them. The bus used to stop at the end of our driveway and pick us and our neighbor kids up. Then they decided they didn’t want to maneuver those steep hills and started picking us up at the intersection. So we’d have to walk up the hill and walk down it every day to get to the bus stop. We did good if someone’s mother parked there and let us get in their car and stay warm and dry on the worst days.

@cherokeepatti i was lucky, driveway was only 150 ft long.
We could wait in the house and watch for the bus.
We used to stand on the register above the coal furnace and melt grooves in our shoes while waiting😂
How didn't the house burn down

Employers don't have to face down the liability that a school does when it comes to a snow day. My office will just tell us on snow days to "do what we feel safe doing", which puts the decision on us and gets them out of having to pay us for a day the office is closed.

Some places do but ya not many, I wouldn’t get a snow day I don’t even get Christmas off. I’m a caregiver.

Our plants shut down at times in severe weather. When I went to full-time work from home .. that went away.

Now that I'm retired .. any day can be a "snow day".

Winning.

No such thing as snow days when I was at school, we got there and got on with it.

@RodneyTrotter1 since u didn't have snow days I'm sure u had more day's off

@smileylovesgaming The usual, Easter, summer, christmas plus half term weeks. Only kids who lived out of town were allowed snow days, I lived in town so had to get there 🫤

My work does. If it snows a lot I can call and say I’m taking a snow day. We also get one happy day off each month

Work does have snow days if you work as a teacher.

Our boss will let us work from home when the weather is bad.

You do realize you don't get paid when they cancel work, correct?

@Gibbon I mean I sorta agree if labor laws would get with it and make it paid, but this country hates workers
