Ask HN: What is your employer's policy when your home Internet is down?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25919408Many of us had a bumpy morning, at least those of us relying on Internet services on the East Coast of the US. This was my first "I can't make progress on my tasking, guess I'll just have tea and read for a bit" moment since I began working remotely.
What is your employer's policy regarding outages like this? In my experience, most employers simply eat the time if there's an in-office disruption (network outage, fire alarm, etc). But now that we're all at home, I feel a bit more pressure to get done what I intended to (although I haven't seen an actual policy).
What's expected of you when you're working from home, but can't actually get work due to external factors? Is it documented in an actual policy, or is it more a cultural thing?
