Yesterday when I was watching Fox and Friends, I came in just in time for them to say that a hospital in Washington, D.C fired ten nurses who didn't show up for work because of a snowstorm. My response to that: Where is the common sense, guys?!?!
When a big snowstorm like the one in D.C hits, it can be a long wait, before people can get out of their driveways and out on the road. Reason being is that the plows are fighting against the elements to clear the roads and sidewalks. So, unless the roads and sidewalks are cleared, there's no way anyone can get out on the road and get to their jobs.
I remember Fox News also mentioned that one of the nurses that was fired had been employed in that particular hospital for a long time and had a spotless record. Now my response is, "Why do you fire someone for just one so-called violation of their contract? We're human and we're going to make mistakes once in a while!"
In conclusion, I feel the nurses fired should be hired back. They had a sensible reason for not showing up and a snowstorm is something we don't have any control over.
