Yep and have a letter declaring me essential

Three7s · 03-24-2020, 07:25 AM

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

**Old Dog** · 03-24-2020, 07:48 AM

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.

ChiefBlueCFC · 03-24-2020, 08:12 AM

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...

**ChiTown** · 03-24-2020, 08:14 AM

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.

mililo4cpa · 03-24-2020, 08:45 AM

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......

Such as, drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.
