Snow Days, Elections, and Holidays
It’s rare for the power to go out completely in a stationary workplace. When it does, sometimes a manager has a plan for making sure the day’s work still gets done.

An organized workplace should have predetermined procedures for snow days, holidays, and special events like championship parades or major road work. Likewise, there’s a need to plan for these events in the virtual workplace—what do you do when the lights go out, the Wi-Fi is down, or delays are caused by upgrades and updates?
