You'll be in on Monday, right?

I spoke with some of my old colleges from my previous employer in Houston. They told me on Saturday the management team was calling their teams telling them to report for work on Monday. This after a near miss from a hurricane pretty much depleted the city of gas and groceries. This after the mayor asked people to not return to Houston until neccessary. It's truly unconscionable the way some people do business. Even if you are responsible for a company, I think you still have to have some shred of decency left.

If you treat people like that indefinitely they do two things: They stop trying at their jobs and the look for a way to leave. Each one cost much more than what one gets out of harassing people to show up at any cost.

I have to fly out to Philly tomorrow for a few days. I've never been, but I'm not really excited either.
