Two companies I am connected to have not had layoffs.

One is a SB and applying for loans. All paperwork is in and expect funding this week.

Other is large company and lay-offs are possible. The stay-at-home has actually been very good financially for one part of the company, however it has gutted another side with a 30% loss in revenue.

If this goes into May, I could see that side being furloughed.

I have 64 still on payroll. We have had some stay home until cleared due to possible exposure. As of yesterday, have all but one back (the one positive test out of twelve). We are in construction and working on three hospital projects.

I work for a directional drilling company and despite the slowdown we all just got small paycuts. CEO sent out an email saying they prepared for this unlike last turndowns and plan to keep everyone along as they can. I have gone from 12 rigs that I normally do work on to just 4. But those 4 are with a small company that can survive on 20$ a barrel.

I'm in logistics, we are pretty busy some days, nobody laid off here, we have some teams breaking records with profit for the month. These shippers are paying some high rates but now it's to the point that a lot of places are closed and these truck drivers need to find loads to keep them moving. Freight rates have fell out this week

I let my yard man go. My son is 10 so figured this was a good time to start teaching him while I’m home more. Also haven’t had the cleaner come by for a few weeks. Been cutting my sons hair... so a few people are being put on the chopping line.

Company of 34 employees with offices in Memphis, Nashville, and Birmingham. We haven't laid anyone off and everyone is working. We had one guy out last week, but his corona test was negative so he was back at work yesterday

IT services company, we haven't laid anyone off. We're still hiring for projects we have underway.

We've had a few customers cancel projects, but all in all we're up from our forecasts before this all started.

No layoffs here, I actually got a raise in the middle of this mess. I do work in healthcare though.

We have 37 employees here and are a manufacturing company. We have salaried personnel that are working from home (project management, design, sales) but our production team is here everyday. We have started implementing safety measures, everyone needs to wear a face mask and gloves. We are also taking temperatures every morning in our production meeting. We have about 8 weeks of work in house but I am scared what's going to happen after this is done. That's when we will see our business suffer because all our customers aren't working right now and that will show in a few months.

we are working with CDC to turn their COVID-19 guideliness into online training and distributing it to 5,000 hospitals on our network.

not completely unscathed and happy to still be working. company has frozen hiring, our annual merit increases (scheduled unfortunately for May), suspending 401K matching but not laying anyone off for the moment.

I'll take it!

Both the company I work for (200 employees) and the company we own (my wife and I, 18 employees) are essential businesses.

Thank the Lord!
