are all companies entitled to? or is it up to the companies? i work in downtown and my company didnt say anything about that. just COME MUCH MORE EARLIER THAN BEFORE!

twitchyzero 02-01-2010 02:30 PM

um no. it's totally up to your boss..i work a blk away from the ubc arena so my employer is just doing it as an incentive.

I live in Richmond and work in DT, skytrain is my best friend for the 2 weeks

Well, the olympics delays are setting in. One of my employees listened to my warnings about the delays today...came in 5 minutes before work instead of 20. Another didn't listen, usually shows up just in the nick of time, now he's 20 minutes late.

Not happy.

Lionsgate and the general downtown area's been a ghost town lately. I wonder if everyone's taking time off or skipped town like I plan to do.

Yea, i feel that too. I can get across Lionsgate during rush hour much faster than 2 months ago. I hope everyone will continue to abandon their cars
