I work in healthcare and although I am not an "essential" employee I am required to show up for work unless it has been decided that no one be on the roads. I always do my best to get there because so many employees, including the essentials, figure if the white stuff hits the streets then it's a day off. There's always a handful of us that keep the building going and most of us can do everything needed: personal care, receptionist, cook, clean, laundry, respond to emergencies, etc.
A few years ago, we got 3' of snow and only a few nurses and CNAs showed up. That handful of us managed to keep everyone cared for over many days while many called and whined about no daycare, no 4X4, husbands at work, etc.
I just wish someone would notice (and give thanks) for the many times we show up to do what management doesn't show up to do....
