From the New York Times, I'm Charles Do last time you experience this problem.

So it actually usually for me starts the night before like 11 30 at night and I'm in

bed looking at my favorite weather app. This is Marissa. She works at a startup in

Manhattan and the problem she has?

It only crops up a few days a month.

I saw that the rain was going to hit right at the lunch rush. Everyone who works for us is also looking at this too probably and making the

decision about whether or not to come to work. Marissa is in charge of HR at a company called

Homer Logistics. They employ hundreds of bike

messengers who deliver food for restaurants in Manhattan. When it rans, you're

much more likely to order

volume. That seems awesome.

Phenomenal, except if none of your staff shows up to deliver those orders.

That's the problem. Yeah so I mean you like wake up and

the text messages and the emails and the phone calls like they all start

rolling in if people saying hey you know what I woke up this morning and I have a

terrible cold and who am I to say that they don't have a cold but it seems like in

school it's like the kids who get sick on days when there's exams is a little bit the same thing.

And like, like, the other part of it is that I totally empathize. I have been out there when it's

meaning. It's like wet and cold and it sucks.

But if you can't get people to do something that sucks,

your company is going to go out of business.

Yeah. this problem, like paying people more money if they showed up on rainy days.
