Cancelling tomorrow's work - today!
« on: November 20, 2016, 06:32:28 pm »
A local window cleaning firm I follow on Facebook have posted that they've cancelled all their work for tomorrow because of the forecast. Heavy rain is forecast, but rarely is the weather as bad as forecast. They employ too!

So have I, the second time in 10 years. I only work 4 days a week so will still be done by Friday.
Normally work in the rain but tomorrow may just be pushing it!

I know a window cleaner that lives his life by these forecasts.
About two weeks ago he had written Friday's work off and said he wasn't going in on the Wednesday.

On the Friday it was fine not a drop of rain or wind.

You have to at least give it ago.I stopped looking at the weather forecast quite some time ago.

If you do decide to go out, make sure your water is 0 so you can do the best job possible in the most difficult conditions!

It's only rain and 10mph winds. In town!! Hardly Hurricane Katrina.

I also kno a chap at the slighest hint of rain or the very fine drizzle we get, will pack up n call it a day. Its like trying to find any excuse NOT to work..
I dont think im alone in saying, that in the past ive seen the forecast and decided against working (when i cleaned old school (trad)) and so made completely different plans. Only for the day to have been nice and miss out on a days wage n fall day behind in work. Since doing that a couple of times over the years, i soon learnt to look out the window and if dry, then it was off to work. If it rained, sat it out in car and decide if it was in for rest of day or not.
Now on wfp, its every work day is a work day, unless its really bad weather and quite frankly if i want to be in it all day.  Not, what would customers think.

One man operator can make the call there and then, I suppose an employer would need to give employees notice.
Rains a different concern but usually when storms are forecast they more often get it right than wrong.
