A mid-sized real estate business moves into a new office building in a popular coastal region. The move happens to coincide with hurricane season. Soon after, a strong hurricane forms in the region. Coastal landfall is forecast for very close to the company's location. The HR manager meets with senior management. Due to the ominous hurricane warnings, management agrees with HR's recommendation to close the office for three days. The hurricane ended up causing widespread power outages, flooding, and other significant damage. There is no power in the office building. The first floor is flooded. Many windows are broken, and floors are covered in debris. Ultimately, the office is closed for more than five weeks during repairs. During that time, the HR manager shares only sporadic status updates and employee communications about a return-to-work date. Confused and frustrated due to this information vacuum, several employees moved out of the area to look for new jobs.
