Are you still working?
 

Poll

Nb4

No I'm been waiting all day to make my first pick in the CP Mock Draft!

Still Super Bowl Champs!

No. But I haven't since the biginning of September.

I will be one angry mother****er if they don’t let me go to work

Still waiting on my stimulus check. **** you Democrat’s!!!

I'm an "Essential Employee". So I have that going for me.

Jesus, your employer must be desperate.





(DON'T PUSH THE ****ING BUTTON)

You've taken care of the DeBerg thing, right?

Today was my last day at the office. Will be working remotely for who knows how long.

Oh ****, now he's heading for the button.

Finally in the majority
sec

Yes. Still flying and traveling around. Feeling essential (and healthy for all of you with anxiety during all of this)

Yup. I'm also one of those essential workers.

No change here. Still grinding.

Working remotely

Mailmen continue to deliver to every house and then bring them germs to YOUR house. Every day.

Busy as ever but keeping fingers crossed.

Still working remotely. My company is unlikely to shut down since most of us are remote and the company was already headed towards closing down offices on a permanent basis.

Normally I'm retired everywhere I go, but now I'm just retired at home.

Team Essential

poll results surprising

Not really. And my vote should be tossed if you are going to analyze this data.

Changed since I voted
sec

That is a pretty encouraging poll. Sorry for the one not working, but one is better than I thought it would be.

Every.

Damn.

Day.

Going into work a couple days a week still, but mostly working remotely from home. It sucks. I’m going stir crazy being at home so much. Just want to go back to the normal work routine.

As an IT person working for a hospital we are hands on and boots on the ground. Our facility takes screening precautions so I feel confident in performing my duties each day with confidence.

I haven't worked at a job in years. Got sick of being in traffic and part of the rat race.

I'm also quite pleasantly surprised with the poll results.

Local police officer. I should be safe. Hopefully my side bank security job stays secure.

As far as my police gig. We’ve been told to arrest for domestics, DUI’s, felonies, and high bond felony warrants. Leave the misdemeanor drug and warrants alone. Don’t go into peoples houses unless needed. Basically limit interactions with civilians. I know my traffic stops have all but stopped.

I'm actually doing pretty good. Turns out I kind of enjoy cruising YouTube, while taking an online class, and punching out some code all in one sitting.

I'm either a great multitasker or have ADD.

That would suck to pull someone over and get sneezed on.

My buddy is a district magistrate and he's all but turned into bubble boy while on the job. Keep safe!

stay safe. And Thanks for helping keep the bad guys off the streets.

Work in a hospital. If my employer closes we are all well and truly ****ed.

Never busier. Gonna make a shitload of money this year.

Not at the moment, but hopefully soon.

Yes. Remote.

part of the food chain (livestock feed store) so we gotta go

Pimpin ain't easy....

Yeah but it's kind of weird, though.

I'm currently working on a package for CBS Sports this Fall, but who knows if we'll even have sports this Fall?

I'm also working on music for TMZ but that's open-ended, meaning I can do that anytime.

Essential employee at work site. Busy as ever. Figuring out the logistics of keeping employees safe and mitigating our, and their risk by spreading them out into shift work. About 20% of staff were set up for remote work early last week.

Yeah, it's stupid. The government doesn't want people traveling, but they keep hotels open. Like WTF, my wife & I are both essential employee & both of us have cancer which means our immune systems are shit. She's suppose to be getting a masectomy on the 30th, we both shouldn't be exposing ourselves to possible sick people. But if the mother****ers don't close the doors, we don't get paid if we don't show up.

I’m a service manager at a tractor dealership so we’re all hands on deck till told otherwise. Not really a job we can do from home and or shut down very easily since farming is pretty essential to keeping the country going.

We’ve implemented as many safety measures as we can so far around the dealership. Employees do have the option to stay home if they feel it’s in their best interest. Anyone who has left the state or shows any symptoms gets a paid 14 day leave.

That would be a nice option to have, we don't have to come without worry of punishment. But neither of us would be paid.

Still selling cars. Usually March is gangbusters, its definitely down in business, but we are still making some car deals. We are putting up enough profit to keep the doors open, but not sure how long it will last unless something else breaks loose.

Technically I am working remotely starting tomorrow.

been working remote for a few years now... Was going in once a week, they changed that 2 weeks ago...

Was until today.

Same here.

I have been working from home for the past 4 or 5 years. I love it. (I don't even have to put on pants most of the time)

Luckily, I only assign and revoke access, to Humana's various systems, and I am not too customer forward. I occasionally have to take a call, but the lions share of my work comes in via a ticketing system.

Yes, im a sub contracted electrician for the largest search engine/ data storage company. They arent shutting this bitch down unless everyone has it. We have a plan to send 4-6 guys home to self quarantine, while the rest of our 14 guys keep at it. And if someone gets sick the guys on the bench step in. The client has a worst case scenario plan where the sight goes on lock down for 20-30 days, and a team stays on sight 24/7 no one in or out.

working for a trucking company, but working remote.

I worked in a casino so I’m ****ed. They’re paying us through the end of the month but I fully expect to get laid off after that.

I create automated fraud analytics as a consultant. So hoping for an uptick as panicked people working from home watching their 401Ks crater make dumb decisions.

I’m in the laboratory business and we’ve been working to quickly add equipment to our fleet to support the testing efforts. Very challenging to find the proper instrumentation right now. It’s been extremely frustrating. What’s not being talked about, however, is a serology test for the virus that is about to become available that will provide a + or - result within 15 minutes. I’m talking about millions of these finger prick tests being available by the end of next week. Still working to see what we can do to help get that rolled out as well.

Yep, work desktop support for Navy trouble tickets, so as long as they keeping ****ing shit up I’ll probably remain here. I have the capability to work from home but my boss doesn’t really want us to, unless we are sick in which case stay the hell home. I don’t work too close to other people, there’s a few other co workers around but they are well over 6 feet away. Going into the office isn’t so bad, it’s one thing that’s still normal in this weird world we are in now, plus the traffic is great.

I trade stocks for a living from my house. I'll be working until they unplug the stock market machines, which I estimate will happen next week.

Yep and have a letter declaring me essential

I'm an "essential" worker, but I'm not working 40 hours like before.

Still work for the military so I'm considered essential......to be honest there can't be a whole lot of folks that are less essential then me.

The day you are out of work please pm me so I can get ready to shelter away from place. Once our supply chain is disrupted, that is why I will get worried about end of days type people.

I am on Spring Break. Hoping they close schools to face to face until the end of the year.

My wife and company has been deemed essential. They make plastics, chip trays, fluid and air filters. Have places around the world. But some factories are having issues getting people to come to work. The China factory is at 90%.

I'm IT at a mid sized bank. We've split our team up and half in one week while the others are remote, and vice versa the following week. All lobbies have been shuttered so there isn't any foot traffic aside from a few "by appointment" cases.

Not sure how long all of this will go on for, but I think our jobs should all be safe. Unless the markets totally crater and a bunch of worst case scenarios happen in succession.

My wife is a HS teacher, and the hoops she's expected to jump through until the end of the term is asinine. Students are told that no work done from this point on will hurt their grade, it can only improve it. So she has to do all of these lesson plans for a bunch of kids that wouldn't have put much effort in during a normal day. So a bunch of homework when it won't affect your grade? Yeah, those kids are going to buckle down and get serious instead of sitting on the couch in front of their Xstation or Playbox. They also have a lot of other duties they expect her to do. All while being promised that they will still get paid. That promise coming from this SI doesn't invoke a lot of warm fuzzies, so fingers crossed.

why the hell would any school district claim to do that???

I have done some online teaching for weather days and days I am absent. It works, but also is not the same as being there. No one can expect that. Admin should understand that.

If kids are not doing it at school, they will not do it at home. And I will not have to deal with their BS every day.

Go into work everyday, but have the ability to work remotely. Boss won't let us because he doesn't think we will work lmao okay buddy...

Yep - still going to my office (office of 1). My building on my floor has emptied out. The floor above me is all OBGYN Docs, so they are still going strong.

My business is in flux. We are presently about 30% down, and I suspect we'll be 50% down within the next week or two. After that, my crystal ball is pretty fuzzy. We are prepared to go to zero, and have cash reserves to get us through Q1 '21. It would basically zap up all profits from 2019, but that's just life.

I wish everyone here all the best in keeping gainful employment, but most of all, I wish you all continued health during this shitty little period in our history.

I'm deemed essential as they want to keep all dental emergencies out of ER's. But we're down on what we are seeing and actually doing for now.

My son's pediatric dentist is closed temporarily except for emergencies.

I'm a paralegal in a law firm that doesn't do litigation. The phone is hardly ringing, and my boss is doing next to nothing. If they're going to pay me to do nothing here, they could pay me to do nothing at home. At least I could get some stuff done around there. However, the other attorney (the main partner) thinks that this whole thing is a hoax, so he will not shut down unless mandated to do so, and he'll gripe the whole time.

I'm working every day, but until today, it's been at the office....we are rotating in / out office days starting this week...why rotate? I have no idea, other than my boss is old school and doesn't believe in work from home....probably testing the concept of work from home because very likely we will have to shutter our office for a couple weeks eventually

Unfortunately, it sounds like he's an idiot. Is there an overreaction going on? Maybe. Is this a hoax? Wow......

He's the king of hypocrisy.

Last week, when Missouri's numbers were around 14, he kept telling people on the phone that, even if that were true, it's only "1 in 750,000" people (actually, uh, that's 1 in 440,714 people). Two days later, he's still saying the same BS to clients. I informed him when he got off the phone, that he may want to update his figures, since it was then 1 in 221,000. "oh, well, that means I'd need to come into contact with one person in Springfield." Yeah, if only one person around here had it. He then does the flu comparison.

This is the same man who bitches about everybody who acts like they know something about law.

Yes. About 75% at home and 25% at the office. Very fortunate for sure, and praying for all of you who are getting hit by this.

Done.

Yeah, my wife teaches first grade, and she has to provide lesson plans and materials and once a week a video explaining how to do it. She also has to call each student once a week. Apparently no recourse if the kid doesn't do a damn thing. The parents that were going to work with their kids and get things going are going to do it. The ones that aren't, still aren't.

Apparently the school is still providing sack lunches. I'm not sure how that's going work infection-wise, but apparently that's the plan.

ROFL

Always. It's always the ones that will bitch when someone steps on their turf.

I am working but furloughed every other week for 8 weeks. Layoffs likely coming after that. Also likely to get the shaft on my promotion this year. Tired of working in aircraft, I realize this is a crisis but my employer didn't waste a second to hang us out to dry. Other manufacturing places are still paying their employees. I am a full stack web developer in Wichita, KS. If anyone knows of remote opportunities or places hiring in Wichita, PM me please!
