George Nemeth · Mayor shuts down Cleveland
January 28th, 2009
An email from a friend who works for the city:
Because of the winter storm, we have asked that employers dismiss their employees early today to help alleviate late day gridlock and to help clear the streets faster so that plows can get down the streets.
We have asked federal and state employees to be dismissed at 1:30 p.m.
We have asked city and county employees to be dismissed at 2:30 p.m.
We have asked businesses to dismiss employees beginning at 3:00 p.m.
Employees from any agency or business should take instruction from their supervisors.
Non-essential City of Cleveland employees will be dismissed by their supervisors.

I was almost the last person to leave my office at 1;45. All the other departments were already shut and there was only one person in mine. And traffic was already bad here and there on Carnegie where some scarebaby or antoher decided it was necessary to drive 7 mph instead of 15.

The City of Cleveland’s website got a makeover. What do you make of it?

Oh, Cleveland was open? I didn’t know.

It’s pretty funny that those who work in the private sector were asked to work later than the government employees. Yeah, I’m sure there’s nothing to it, but it’s still amusing.

Maybe it was based on a calculation of the loss to productivity that would occur…

The truth is, people want their cake and they want to eat it too; in the case of snowstorms, so much seems to be a no brainer, yet common sense doesn’t apply.
1) people park in the streets, even though there is a snow ER ban – and then they vote on websites like WKYC and say the city does an awful job of plowing.
2) it’s a reasonable request to ask for staggered closings — but the request is ignored in a lot of cases.
The whole idea of feeling as if we are all part of a social contract or network with each other is a tad lacking, imo.

We are all part of a social contract or network with each other?
Carole – where’d you get that memo? Was that in the Pee Dee or sumpthin? And here I thought we were still in every man for himself, rugged individual, take what you can grab mode… sheesh! (:-/
