It's nothing, but we laid off 2 attorneys and 6 staff members today. Over the last 48 hours we've put together plans for 20, 40, 60 and 90 layoffs (leaving a skeleton crew of about 12 'essential' staff) that we'll pull the trigger on as situations warrant.
I saw the 'worst case scenario' predictions of 20% unemployment and I honestly don't see how we don't blow past that. FFS, California is a tick more than 10% of the nations population on their own and that's gonna be a big chunk of folks that can't work from home.
This truly sucks something awful.
