I had a boss once that lived across the street from the office. I lived in the south suburbs where snow would blow from cornfields onto roads and create massive snow drifts that had to be cleared. A blizzard hit and I brought my computer home just in case I couldn’t exit the neighborhood. Sure enough, massive snow drifts piled up. I told him I was unable to come in, but I’d be happy to work from home that day. No dice. He was able to come in just fine. I had to walk out to the main street and take a pic of the massive snow mound in the road before he begrudgingly let me work from home. I’m happy to say I have a better boss these days.
I did stay overnight on occasion to meet deadlines at my old job. When mentioning how uncomfortable sleeping in the car was, my manager bought me a cot. It’s like… thanks I guess, but kind of missing the larger point…

Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?

Don’t worry. We’ll deduct the cot from your pay.
