It's work as usual for Pinoy BPO workers even if a typhoon directly hit Metro Manila and nearby provinces weeks ago. That's not really surprising as call centers and buildings have back-up generators working even if the whole metropolis was groping in the dark because of blackouts.
It's just so funny when I heard a story of a friend of mine that she was tagged 'AWOL' when she failed to contact her supervisor that she will not be able to make it to the office because of strong rains and winds brought by the typhoon. I understand that it is a company policy to do so but with extra ordinary circumstances, it should be at least be dealt with consideration. And personally I do not recommend going to work with winds up to 120kph blowing outside as commuting will be extremely difficult and dangerous.
With an empty phone battery and blackouts, winds and rains everywhere, just contact your supervisor to avoid 'AWOL'. Okay fine.
