Atlanta gas shortage impacting your work commute?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The AJC ran a story on Sunday about how many Atlantans are seeking job commuting alternatives in response to the current gas shortage impacting the metro Atlanta area. Because employers realize that some of their staff members may not be able to get gas in order to drive to the office, they are becoming more receptive to telecommuting and four-day work weeks.
Of course, not all jobs can be done at home, so those employers are encouraging the use of carpools and mass transit. The Clean Air Campaign has had to add extra workers just to respond to all of the alternative commute requests pouring in from frustrated residents. A recent ajcjobs cover story highlights Atlanta companies that have successfully implemented mass transit and carpool programs.
Have you changed the way you commute to work because of the current gas shortage in Atlanta? How understanding has your boss been about the situation?
