Boss: "if I can work, you can work."
Also Boss: (works from home)
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.
Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?
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...
Don’t worry. We’ll deduct the cot from your pay.
