It's stupid for people with desk/computer jobs to have to drive to work EVERY day. I work from home/road and might talk to my boss once a week and wreck shop. Just dont be a POS

You obviously weren't here for Katrina. The only thing missing was the tumbleweeds.

That’s assuming so much though. We need Bloomberg terminals to do our job. If we don’t have them, we need dedicated people on site to use them. Thousands of jobs have similar technology requirements. Don’t apply your situation to the entire country for this.

My 20 minute commute became almost two hours in the morning and after work when work resumed after Katrina and it was like that for about four months.

Flood was bad too but not quite as bad as Katrina.

I remember driving from LSU back to Denham right after Katrina hit because I couldn't get a hold of my parents (didn't know the towers were down). I could have hit 150 with no problem because I saw maybe one other car.

OK not in BR but what if you work in a secure facility with classified info? Changes the scenario doesn't it?

If y’all had been together on the Spillway, you two probably would have wrecked it Ralph.

Fun Fact:

In 1902 there we exactly two automobiles in the whole City of Cleveland, Ohio.

They were involved in a wreck with each other.

Encrypted VPN, not like anything is really secure on any server anyway. We've seen that play out too many times.

My employer sent an email out declaring most people should telecommute but that essential employees should still show up.

Seems to be an awful lot of “essential” employees today.

We’re back office. Form won’t pay for that service level for us. We used to remote into Bloomberg terminals and they threatened to sue our department for breach of contact

Traffic in Baton Rouge is generally fine when schools are out, even without a work from home paradigm.
