Regional Roundup
 
 
Question of the Week
 
Tuesday we asked: Two nor'easters in as many weeks took out power to thousands and closed hundreds of schools and businesses. Usually bustling downtown areas were ghost towns last Thursday after more than a foot of snow was dumped on the region, and another storm threatens to do the same this week.
What is your company’s policy on coming to work during or in the aftermath of a snowstorm?
  • nobody should be out on the roads unless absolutely necessary, let the road crews actually clear the roads... unless you live in Gardner...the roads are total crap this morning!
  • We work from home on snow days; our customers expect us to be open, so we bring our computers home
  • Empower your employees to work from any location and it won't matter if they're in the office or not. It's 2018, use the technology.
