Anonymous Coward User ID: 78543798 United Kingdom 03/15/2020 11:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The company I work for gave us the option of working our regular hours, or taking off (unpaid) until April 6th. Quoting: Pole Cat I'll be there, but wonder how many won't. Last week, we hardly had anyone show...it was definitely a skeleton crew. Railroads are still working, so I call BS on this Corona "pandemic." The President should order a nationwide lockdown if this is a real pandemic. Half-measures only give up the psyop for all to see. He's right, You dig?! |

User ID: 73898431 United States 03/15/2020 11:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thankfully, I'm working from home this week. My company is instituting a new work schedule where half of their employees will work from home one week and half will work at the office, then the two groups will rotate their locations each week. It was explained that when someone gets infected, which is inevitable, as "everyone is going to get it" (Yay!), the company will only lose half their employees. It was later clarified that "lose half" meant only temporarily due to illness, but the wording didn't exactly give me warm fuzzies. Since the incubation rate can be anywhere from 2-28 days, depending on the source, I'm really not looking forward to going in to the office the week after next. |

My Fear
User ID: 71860689 United States 03/15/2020 11:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a disabled housewife. My spouse is going to work. It sounds like he is going to have reduced hours though. I heard a manager talking to an employee, telling her that they were cutting her hours to 35 hours but, they were going to pay her at 40 hours. She said that they would work out her hours and pay after the CV crisis was over. If I was that employee, I would spend my spare time applying somewhere else. You know when the crisis is over, they are going to demand you work more than an hour of a day per week to make up for those hours given. I can tell now there is going to be some friggen employment abuse going on when this thing is done. |

That is my arm now; broken for 7 months User ID: 74700395 United States 03/15/2020 11:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The company I work for gave us the option of working our regular hours, or taking off (unpaid) until April 6th. Quoting: Pole Cat I'll be there, but wonder how many won't. Last week, we hardly had anyone show...it was definitely a skeleton crew. I'll be at work. The gov has freed $$ to cover the cost of employees taking time off--it will be covered. Your employer is not filing the right paperwork if you'll not be paid or they are pocketing the funds. My gov offices have closed to the public until an unknown future date and we are paid if we take sick leave off because of a state of emergency being declared. Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

My boss called me a little after 9:30 tonight to tell me that we are now going to be closed. Quoting: Anonymous Girl He may have just called you to hear the music of your voice. There's a reason he's a boss; He knows you're one of the goddesses walking among we mere mortals. Would that I could toss rose pedals in your wake. Sleep-in tomorrow, but don't give the bastards a stationary target for too long. lol My bosses are female. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight. This is all too weird. I've had a hard time sleeping all week. I already got into planning mode after that phone call. |

Though this is only possible for 60 percent of us. We have hands-on people who need to go in. Though business that drives the hands-on stuff is starting to fall off a lot. Not good. Could be out of work before too long. |
