In the face of severe weather conditions affecting various parts of the world, numerous individuals are opting to take time off from their jobs to avoid risking their safety when venturing outside. This is especially true in regions consistently blanketed in snow throughout most winters.
However, in Portland, a unique approach was taken by a boss to ensure that employees made it to work. This boss personally picked up each employee, ensuring their safe arrival at the office.
A video shared on Tiktok by an account that goes by the name of Amirraa Ruffin, showed that this boss made sure that every employee comes to office safely on such a big snowstorm day. The video showed many of the employees standing in the office’s parking lot.
Sharing this thoughtful gesture on social media, Ruffin acknowledged that while she had hoped the workplace would close for the day, she appreciated the boss’s efforts to find a solution for everyone to reach the workplace. The post prompted other social- media users to share their own experiences, with one person cautioning that a similar attempt had resulted in an accident due to icy conditions.
In response to the boss’s actions, some netizens expressed reservations, suggesting that they would refuse to jeopardise their lives for their wages. One user shared a story of falsely claiming a flat tire to avoid going to work, only to have the boss offer assistance, while another questioned the necessity of risking safety for the sake of their job.
