One of the C-suite guys is beginning to sit in on our weekly meeting tho so I'm gonna lean on him to get the tech people to fix the issue. Just a bitch to get shite done when there are 7k employees and only 2 people have Salesforce admin powers.

I‘ll make more money than I ever have this year and I’m in sales. Schools are spending more money than they ever have but I sell disinfectants, hand santizer, automatic touchless dispensers, toilet paper, microfiber and masks. Been with the same company for almost 20 years and I guess I just lucked out to be working for a company that sells all those products during Covid.
Have you run into the supply chain issues ultimately impacting consumers? I would be stressed as hell not being able to follow through on promises I make to customers. Just curious.

That means you work for P&G or a distributor of P&G. That is a shite company.

Yep, killing me. From production to the damn freight companies, it’s all been terrible.

I sell memberships to a high end golf club. Been hit and miss. Golf is one of the best things you can do right now however, and everyone is leaving the big cities out west and moving here. So overall I’m right at about budget
Buddy is a realtor in NC (Part-time to supplement his income) and he says he could switch full-time and might do so. Everyone from big cities, is moving to the Appalachians for cheap homes/cabins and beautiful scenery.

Sure.
My job is healthcare and the kind (ER) you can't fire or furlough. Not trying to be a prick and brag. But just it ALL adds up. Spending every moment with family. Its great, then its repetitive then its anxiety laden. You can't go anywhere or do anything. No TV. Need money to camp or do any of the things people will bash me with.

House across the street from me went on the market literally the week of the shutdown in March.
Got two offers one over asking price, from people who never set foot in the house.

Been devastating for me. My commissions have gone down 90% from 2019. What few sales I can make are hardly worth the effort to be honest.
Thankfully my residuals are enough to keep my bills paid, barely. Currently exploring other career options because even when Covid ends, my main client base are gonna likely remain inaccessible for awhile. Never pictured leaving my business which I spent the last 16 years building, and I'll never believe that the response to this pussy arse pandemic wasn't an extreme overreaction.

I’m in The Multifamily industry and we’re rolling. Not quite 2019 numbers but my team is within 3-5%. PPE makes up about 20%. Manufacturing is bogged down causing a bottle neck. If it weren’t for that we’d be well over YOY. What industry are you in?

Yep, even if property takes a dip nationwide, land/cabins/cheap homes are still going to be in demand from those fleeing the Blue States/Cities

Jan-San is a segment of my industry but we’re multifamily. Jan-San and ppe have been very good to us.

Kind of what I figured. I work for a company with huge purchasing power and contracts and have had issues getting what we need. Couldn’t imagine it literally affecting my livelihood.

Lulz. No, everyone is not doing this. A few reactionary fools are doing this.

I have but we have done a lot of things to make sure we take care of folks. There has only been a few things that we haven’t been able to get that we couldn’t backfill with another product.
