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.

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.
