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?

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..

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).

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.

Not when you're using the DI water in your 1000 and 100000 unit clean rooms as part of your manufacturing process.

An immediate outburst of profanity followed by me complaining that everyone there should have a UPS on their system. When the power is eventually restored, you can hear prayers to various deities hoping that the systems even come back on, and knowing that your lost work is exactly that - lost.
