Hurricane Milton
Supervisor went around just before we finished up this morning saying: "Just going around to let everyone know that we're working tomorrow."
I told my supervisor: "Just letting you know that I won't be here."
For context, I live in central Florida and the eye of Milton is projected to pass right through my county/area tomorrow and is projected to still be a very severe Cat 3 hurricane when it does. They could send out messages later today changing this decision but their current lack of awareness about the severity of this storm is baffling.
I will be using today to make sure my family and myself are prepared and safe. I will not risk the safety of my family.
Such a disgraceful decision by UPS..
Edit: They've double downed by sending out group texts reminding everyone of tomorrow's start time. Also talked to my cousin who is a driver and they told him that the drivers are expected to work tomorrow.
As for the latest on Hurricane Milton regarding my particular area: The path is the same and will be a direct hit on my area. The local news is reporting sustained tropical storm force winds by ~2pm tomorrow.
