Anonymous Coward User ID: 73187561 United States 03/11/2020 08:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes.. but.. Parents that work, now what? Stick them all together in day cares? same thing.. Gov Inslee, to his credit, has directed there be PAID leave for anyone who has to miss a paycheck due to the virus. Anyone do affected should talk with their employer or just reach out to the governors office. It’s a great development!!!! Is it a good idea for the government to be making such demands of private businesses? I work in the advertising agency industry. The business takes in money based on billable hours. If employees are not working on billable hours, there is no income to the business. How is this going to work? Don't get me wrong -- something needs to be done if the government is essentially forcing people to miss work to care for their kids, but I'm not sure this is the answer. Overreach. The govt. will freeze everything, they did it here in Michigan during the recession. No one was kicked out of their homes and no one was without gas, water, and electricity. It would be done on a massive scale. |
