re: Anyone worried about losing their job? Anyone already lost their job?

Nope I work for the state

Mildly worried. But I've saved up over 6 months of living expenses for this reason.

I own a small Mother and Daughter cleaning service. I've taken two weeks off as an abundance of caution. I had a client inform me that she interacted with someone that waited tables at a party where people have tested positive. Because I help several older clients, I closed for two weeks to ensure no one gets sick- including me. I am out $1800.00. Called credit cards and Mortgage company to let them know that for the first time in my life I may be late. They had NO plans in place to help me at all. They are just waiving late fees.

Tried to do small business loan through SBA. We are the only state that has not declared an actual state of emergency that will help small business stay afloat. We've only declared a health state of emergency. Way to go JBE.

Ironically these guys are the ones who cut and spray the highway and interstate rights of way and could possibly continue working with little to no contact with anyone with minor modification to getting to and from their job site.

Boy does this hit close to home.

I’m working from home doing everything asked of me. They’re doing road work in my neighborhood and the idiots didn’t call in to get lines marked. They took out the primary cable coming into the neighborhood from Verizon.

I have over $100k in quotes to get out today and we could use the work. I’m on my iPad on cellular service trying to get the quotes out.

We are not happy with the road crew today.

I’m out of work for at least a month right now. I mean I can take on new clients but people are holding onto their money and there are no new filings right now. I’m an attorney.

My work is blowing up so I'm busy and doing fine; however, my company just went on a hiring/transfer/promotion freeze, and I was in the middle of the interview process for a promotion effective 4/1. Just incredible timing. Literally just got a call that said the offer was submitted to HR and was good to go, but it can't be extended because of this shite.

As somebody whose been in the workforce for less than a year, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous being that I have zero seniority.

On the bright side, you are likely costing your company a lot less money than someone with seniority.

The O&G truck nuts baw threads have slowed down. Now everybody seems worried about the economy.

I feel for all of you that are facing tough situations with either being laid off or taking a large cut in pay.

I left the job market on Feb 29 right before all of this shite hit the fan.
