Remote Workers Wouldn’t Have Agreed To Work From Home If They Knew It Meant Zero Snow Days Off

“I FEEL TRICKED” confirmed Carmel Foley, one of hundreds of thousands of workers granted the ability to work from home several days a week in recent years, as she stared mournfully out at heavy snow she couldn’t use as an excuse for a handy day off.

“You can’t begin to understand how sneaky and satisfying it felt back with the big snow in 2018 when I told the office the roads to the were impassable due to snow. Back then I didn’t have a home work set up,” added another worker, whose employer would have laughed in their face back in 2018 if they asked for an ergonomic home desk and laptop working arrangement.

Irish remote workers now face the prospect of foregoing a ‘snow day’ due to their home being equipped with the ability to do a day’s work, all while non-office workers given the day off fill their social media feeds with snowman building.

“That’s a ‘The Chase’ repeat marathon in my boxers off the fucking cards,” griped one worker who has actually had several of those days recently over the Christmas but still feels like they’re missing out.

“A snow day off from work is one of those sacred if rare rights of passage all office workers should be entitled to, like when you get a day off ‘cus someone in the warehouse loses an arm or the under the table hush payment when the boss can’t keep his arms to himself,” complained workers rights’ advocate Tony Dallon.

Asked why remote workers didn’t just lie and say they had no electricity, workers responded in unison stating that every office has some ‘busybody prick’ who would actually check that with the ESB networks and rat on them.
