What time did you get let out at?

EPAndlee · 28-02-2018 07:59PM

Was off today anyway but expected in tomorrow for a full day and Friday. Obviously no customers in their right mind will turn up tomorrow for their car to be serviced

JohnnyFlash · 28-02-2018 08:27PM

Did a full day today, as did my 5 employees. There was a job we were scheduled to do this week that I decided to push out to next week though. Down in the arse end of Kilkenny. 3 of them and meself are heading back in tomorrow morning as well. See how it's looking when I stick my beak out the door at lunchtime. Two of the lads are coming up to Dublin from Offaly and Kildare, so told them to take the day off and spend it with the family. One lad was bullin' about the racing in Dundalk being called off tomorrow. Suposedly there was a horse lined up for one of the races there.

Dundalk is a punters graveyard anyway.

09:30 closed until Monday. Paid time off. Happy days.

Noveight · 28-02-2018 09:32PM

Finished up at 3:15. Off now until Monday, nothing beats the weekend beginning on a Wednesday

Leftyflip · 28-02-2018 09:32PM

Told to go home at 10:00, off until Monday, bar any emergency call-outs!

branie2 · 28-02-2018 09:51PM

I'm not working at the moment, so I'm lucky

Inspector Coptoor · 28-02-2018 09:52PM

Off all day.
Not back til Monday.

branie2 · 28-02-2018 09:52PM

I hope you all stay safe

Dev84 · 28-02-2018 09:54PM

5 day weekend. 48 tins of heineken, 10 frozen pizzas and watching the storm out the winda. Lads life doesnt get any better than this. As frank sinatra sang....let it snow let it snow let it snow......

branie2 · 28-02-2018 09:55PM

I thought it was Dean Martin

Malari · 28-02-2018 09:57PM

Mostly working from home, but that's really frustrating so I'll probably go in before code red sets in. Did the same today.

actaphobia · 28-02-2018 09:58PM

Up at 5.30, left at 6.30

walked an hour in snow to work - got text to say work was closed

ran home in about 20 minutes

Powers that be decided to close the offices for today late last night. Then today at lunch time they closed the office until Monday, all staff to be paid as normal and told to work from home where possible but not to stress about being chained to a laptop, as people will have kids etc off school (ie answer a few emails from the offices in the US and US) - oh and any staff currently on annual leave will have the days credited.

Nice to work for people who treat staff well.

I guess we're lucky in the sense that our business / industry doesn't save lives and will be waiting for us on Monday.

We have a few retail outlets that can't close, and they're running with as little staff as possible and have only rostered people living near by. Anyone trapped due to transport etc will be put up in a hotel, and I believe they're getting paid an extra hourly rate.

Your spot on about that. Civil servant myself. Usually we are treated poorly enough but this time they have looked after us.

Neames · 28-02-2018 10:35PM

Sent home at 3....after driving a treacherous journey. Took my time made it in in one piece.

Some guys who lived close to work didn't show up because the footpaths were too slippy.

smaoifs · 28-02-2018 10:40PM

Did the full day, manager wasn't taking hints to let us out any earlier.
Working from home tomorrow and Friday, good luck getting any level of productivity out of me with a 12 month old to chase after that can't go to her grandparents.

pauliebdub · 28-02-2018 10:45PM

Left at 3pm, annoyed with having to go in in the first place

aLou991 · 28-02-2018 10:53PM

Tried to get into work but roads were too bad. Office due to open at 8, communication sent at 7.30 to go home.

Another text a while ago to say we're closed tomorrow.

Fully paid, no questions asked. It's nice to be looked after. They done the same for Ophelia. I highly doubt we'll be open Friday either.

Turtyturd · 28-02-2018 11:08PM

Told to go about 11, but hung around for a while.

Have to go in tomorrow to send off one document.

laserlad2010 · 28-02-2018 11:11PM

Babies will still be born so I'll be working full hours through til Saturday afternoon. I'll have the wellies on for the 30min walk across the city centre to the hospital.

I run the roster for our unit so I've attempted to ban anyone living outside the canals from coming in and we'd run an emergency roster. Unfortunately all of my colleagues are too selfless to agree so hopefully they'll see sense by tomorrow morning.

Miss Demeanour · 28-02-2018 11:15PM

Got a text at 7 to say come in.
Got a text at 8 to say come in but not until 10.
Crashed the car at 8.30.
Got a text at 9 to say not to come in until Monday after all......

Still......4 days off

jonon9 · 28-02-2018 11:18PM

Yes i be working tomorrow and Friday.

Sephiroth_dude · 28-02-2018 11:20PM

1pm, not back till Monday, weather permitting.

Neames · 28-02-2018 11:32PM

And if you must, go to work tomorrow.
Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them, but not very often

28-02-2018 11:33PM

I hadn't any work today and it's unlikely I will until Monday. This means that coupled with my week of being sick March will be a tight month on the pocket.

koumi · 01-03-2018 12:23AM

daughter's been working last eight days straight, today was supposed to be her day off and she arrived up to me earlier all bright eyed and bushy tailed wanting to go snow treking and as soon as she got home she got a call from work asking could she come because other staff members wanted to leave early to avoid worsening weather. She just sat down and cried. To top it off they called her this evening telling her she would be manning the place by herself tomorrow til three.

Mint Sauce · 01-03-2018 12:26AM

I did my 12 hour shift, and about another hour after that.

But then we hardly have any snow, even if we did, I would still have had to do them 12 hours.

01-03-2018 12:27AM

Didnt go in at all, closee till monday now. A number of my colleagues didnt go in either. Ive a laptop so will be working as normal, some of others dont so theyre getting away scot free!
