What it says above. Our employers make us work from home when it’s Typhoon Day.
It isnt a national holiday. @Malasang88 one of your employees needs a chat.
Someone posted about this yesterday and a thought occurred to me that an employee could counter the ‘typhoon day isn’t a holiday’ with ‘my home is not my place of work’.
Some info here on this link
As a side note, I am at home doing some light work online, my staff/co workers working online (not my order, I am fine they do nothing like a full day off) pushing me to get approvals and making me do more work than I in plans this morning.
The same time, staff telling stay home (I wanted go to Family Mart) and be safe (good advice after I saw the news of the tree falling on scooter rider earlier here in town)
If you really don’t want to work tell them the electricity is being spotty. Therefore your internet isn’t stable. My stuff was flickering this morning so it truly is plausible.
Yer, that is why there is some debate depending on whether the employee works from home sometimes anyway. Would be hard to justify:
Please let me work from home sometimes.
I am not working from home on a typhoon day.
I would only agree to WFH during a typhoon day if your office is a hybrid setup and you are offered a few WFH days every week.
Maybe can tell them this news (though never had major power outage even in a super storm here): (at the end I should be happy they work harder than me, good Taiwan work ethic)

I bet many of these companies don’t allow working from home, except for typhoon days.
“We have a WFH policy in place”
You don’t have a UPS at home? lol I do. I post being tethered to my cell phone on 5g. No spotty internet for me.
A guy in the typhoon thread says neihu and taipei are reporting outages. All the people whose power went out were in the middle of very important office work. Apparently.
They most likely wouldn’t ask them a lot of questions. If they do they just keep making up lies like taiwanese
“My phone is almost dead” they can’t charge it because the spotty electricity
Sure and everyone I know has power banks. lol
You’re thinking too much. Taiwanese people aren’t going to ask foreigners questions like that. They likely don’t even know the words “power bank”. Plus mine legitimately isn’t even charged because I forget I have it. Like I said OP could keep lying like they do. Everytime I’ve questioned them they just make up more lies.
I didn’t lie… Not yet…
Take a day off, make up day later. What’s the issue? Paid for work done, this should be simple. If I were employed by a company, I would be THRILLED they let me work from home during a crazy storm. Rather than fuck up a future Saturday or cut my wage due to fairness of not working
