The first time, no. But if it's the only way for people to get to that workplace and nobody can cross it long-term, then ultimately, the workplace must do something about it - either get it addressed, or move location. Otherwise, they will have no employees.
DDoS attacks rarely hit the server. They'll target a node on the network instead, shutting out anyone that connects via that node. It's why only some people get disconnected while others do not.
I know how DDoS attacks work. That explanation is fair at first, but not when nothing gets done about it and the impact continues to get worse. They could move the server location, or proactively invest in VPN servers and route players through them whenever a DDoS is happening so that they avoid the affected node.
