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.

**digger** · 03-23-2020, 09:10 PM

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.

**morphius** · 03-24-2020, 06:06 AM

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.

KCUnited · 03-24-2020, 06:10 AM

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.

Dallas Chief · 03-24-2020, 06:22 AM

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.

backinblack · 03-24-2020, 06:31 AM

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.
