Snow time off: Firm based in Jiminy Massachusetts issues harsh yet tongue in cheek warning to its workers saying if thousands of skiers can make it to Jiminy amid heavy snowfall forecast for the weekend then so can they!
- Workers are told on a notice board it’ll be business as usual during the heavy snowfall forecast for Jiminy
- The note goes on to say employees are exempt from a travel ban if a State Of Emergency is declared and are still required to report to duty
- The notice warns there’s no accommodations available: ‘Not even a pillow or a blanket’
- It ends with what appears to be a tongue in cheek offer to use employees ‘Fisher or Clark’ as bedding
Staff members working for one company in Jiminy Massachusetts can be absolutely sure snow days are not one of the perks of the job after a memo was posted on a notice board warning employees it’s business as usual during heavy snowfall forecast Saturday and Sunday.
A photo pinned on a notice board addressed to ‘All Employers’ tells workers to make alternate plans to get to work over the weekend, ‘if your vehicle can not handle snow.’
In a reference to the popularity of Jiminy Peak, a mid-sized ski resort in Hancock, Massachusetts, the memo makes it clear there’ll be no ducking out of the job because of the white stuff, ‘if thousands of skiers can make it to Jiminy, so can you.’

The note goes on to say even if a State Of Emergency is declared, employees are still required to report to duty.
And in case any worker is in doubt of what is expected of them, the notice reads, all in caps, ‘WE ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS ORDER,’ adding that a couple of thousand guests who will trapped in Jiminy, will need staff to see to their needs if a State of Emergency is declared and a travel ban put in place.
However, ‘medical, utility and hospitality services will be allowed to travel.’
‘If thousands of skiers can make it to Jiminy, (pictured above) so can you,’ the note reads
It doesn’t look as though there will be any home comforts on offer for staff looking to stay at Jiminy overnight. ‘There are NO accommodations available. Not even a pillow or a blanket,’ the notice states.
‘You may use Fisher (after 9:00) or Clark if you like, which reads like a tongue in cheek offer to use two co-workers as a substitute for bedding.
In the unlikely event any worker has failed to get the message, the note ends, ‘Any questions? See Mark.’
It’s unknown if anyone chose to question him.
