I probably should have added a little more context to the situation in the beginning but didn’t think it really mattered……My wife is “the boss” over all the employees in the pharmacy at her store……She was trying to look out for her staff because many of them drive 30 minutes to an hour to get to that store and several lived in areas that were for sure going to be heavily impacted…..They were originally scheduled to work until 7:00 and she made the request to her boss for them to be able to leave at 2:00 so everyone could get home safely and she was told no that she was overreacting…….It was only after several discussions and some belittling that they agreed to let them leave at 4:00…….. Its just really, really annoying how big companies act and why people should step in and override “money” and profit when the folks who make that profit for you are being done chitty…..My wife is a go-getter who has been pharmacy manager of the year several times and has taken the current store she’s at from last in the district to one of the top performers……and then when time comes that she needs to be taken care of……nope……not even going to pay for the tow truck to get you out of the ditch on the way home if you get stuck after they put you in a bad spot……Its that way will all big companies now…..The irony being that it’s the exact opposite of the philosophy many companies like this were founded on...…..The whole reason many of them became successful in the beginning was through genuine concern for their employees. Meh....rant over I suppose.....moving on with life.  Theres only a couple of things that matter to the business and in court. Was she performing duties of the business when she was driving? Did the actions of the business cause her to be hit by another driver.

You would hope there would be a better game plan on the companies part to handle these type situations in a reasonable manner…..but apparently they arent responsible for any of it so it doesn’t matter……That was kind of my point with the original question…..not that anyone is about to sue anyone…..but just damn, how can folks hold your job over your head and force you into such a bad position and then not bear any responsibility for the outcome…. It would be far different if it was just one of those things where chit happens and it wasn’t forseeable, etc……but it was completely a matter of someone else making bad decisions and you having to bear ALL the brunt of it…..Makes you grit your teeth and call people bad names…..One of the downfalls of working for big companies……I know if I would have had to go out that night and fish my wife off the side of the interstate I was gonna be ready to start opening up cans on somebody……..

The company bears absolutely ZERO responsibility for the accident.
Even Alex would fall out of his chair laughing if you called him about this situation.

The driver that that lost control of their vehicle is at fault, not the boss. Yep. Why do you think they shut schools down with a good threat?

I work in a hospital, so we're always given the option to just camp out at work or leave. If you're scheduled to be there, then they expect you to be there and will accommodate you. I stayed the night on Tuesday night because I get off when it's dark and was scheduled to be back the next day before daylight. I'm single, so it was an easy decision for me. My shift ended at 11:30am yesterday so the roads were thawed enough to make it home.
