Text message from our in-home health aide this AM. Do you need me for anything today? It's raining and I don't like to drive in the rain.

I hired you bc I need you. But, If you don't want to work on rainy days, I can appreciate that. I need someone that also works when it rains.
Maybe it's just me, but I thought this was an entirely inappropriate ask. Like WTF, really.
Yeah, we're going to have a talk when she gets here.

Tell her to ride a bike instead! 😜
We had an in person chat when she got here.
Partly my fault that she thought it was ok to ask me for such a thing.
Her value to me and my expectations of her are pretty clear now.
Been too busy with other stuff to have set those expectations 2 months ago. But we're all good now.
All that said, I can't think of a scenario, where I think it's smart to ask my boss if he needed me to work today bc it's raining.
Especially when you live in a state where it rains for 4 months out of the year.
