What is your company's power outage policy?

Let's say, there is a big storm that knocks out power in your office and you can't work at all. Will your boss give you a day off?

I work from home, when there is a power outage my Honda EU2000I, powers my servers and workstation. When at infrequent times I am at employers office location and no power, I go home.

We have about 50 windows in our office. They probably will force me to wash them. And of course you could just write down your C++ code on the paper or napkin and enter it in computer in the next day. If you are a good artist, you could also make your forms design on the same napkin/back side for the code, front side for the form design, different napkin for header files or partial classes – depends of the language you’re using/.

We have bicycles to power the computers.

We don't have bicycles. Oh, wait, we do have rats and roaches and god knows what underneath the floor (it's a 50 year old building).

The worst I ever experienced was that they would have us sit around and wait. But, it really wasn't too bad as you could still use pen and paper and outline/pseudo-code whatever you were working on. These days, I work out of my house. So, if the power goes out so do I. My house will be solar powered by this August so it will be interesting to see how I handle power outages after that.

We have none. However the last power outage we had was in 1992 or so..

I work from home, but in the past our policy was, people with notebooks keep working, people with desktops stay to laugh at them.

We have a departmental UPS, and a diesel generator, the minute the power is knocked, the UPS kicks in and within 1 second the generator is started. We also have our on substation!

The building UPS lasts at least an hour (longest outage I've seen), if it was drained for most people it'd be take your laptop home and use your home power. In extremis I have an inverter and could use my car as an emergency generator. I'm not sure what the policy is for an extended regional outage or for people whose jobs must be done on site.

:doh: :doh: :doh: I read the title as power outrage policy. :) Several years ago when the lights went out, there were a couple of extra days of holidays that a few people had. But I don't think that applied to any of my electrical friends.

We have a rather large generator which kicks in automatically. That's the good part. The bad part is, the purpose of the generator is to keep our distilled water system running (if it loses power, it becomes contaminated, and cleaning it's a PITA). No extra power for lights, computers, etc.

That's it, I am going to suggest that to the management as our official new policy.

You know, contaminated water is much more nutricious than clean water.
