With Hurricane Sandy wrecking havoc in New York - by knocking down power lines, damaging the public transit system, and leaving several parts of the city flooded -, a number of New Yorkers, including employees of New York-based tech companies, either worked from home or clubbed together with fellow workers who still had electricity.

Since the headquarters of the trendy e-commerce site Fab. com are located in the flooded and the `no power supply' area of West Village, the employees of the company carried out their job responsibilities on Tuesday either by working from their homes or by joining up with fellow workers residing the areas which had power supply.

The nearly 225 employees of Fab. com received an email titled "team together" on Tuesday at around 6 a. m. The email essentially asked the employees with electric power if they would allow their `without electricity' co-workers to work with them from their homes.

With as many as 114 employees responding to the email, the Fab. com workers actually teamed together at CEO Jason Goldberg's 42nd Street apartment, and in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in Manhattan; in Brooklyn, and in some other parts of New York City.

Revealing that nearly 20 Fab. com employees also willingly accommodated their co-workers in their homes overnight on Tuesday, Goldberg said, during a telephonic interview from his two-bedroom apartment: "No one wants to be sitting around doing nothing (because of Hurricane Sandy). Everyone wants to keep things going."
