Some companies & people just do not 'get' the devastation that occurred. I guess the Husky tower got missed; however if transit is not running the companies downtown should not reasonably expect staff to come to the core when the city, CEMA are telling citizens to not travel unless necessary. Getting to a job in an overall affected area is not 'necessary'.

After what has happened 'maybe' more companies will look more thoroughly at 'telecomuting' as an option. For myself whenever my office building gets power restored I expect we'll be asked to work from home, but as well i expect staff not affected directly also may be allowed some volunteer days to help those who are in need.

One of the O&G companies has this for their employees:
Calgary Employee Flood Update

UPDATE: 7:50 pm Saturday, June 22nd
The downtown core continues to be inaccessible, as a result the Calgary office will be closed on Monday, June 24th.
