5 million Americans are laid off with another 10 million to come next week, how is your situation?
CORONA UNEMPLOYMENT THREAD
comfy... WFH... Shitposting... 2-year work cover kick in soon...
Folks, your state and local politicians are directly responsible for preventing you from working.
Just put in for unemployment and waiting patiently for my Trumpbux.
In the meantime life is supremely comfy.
wa electrician, considered essential.
Heard a lot of jobs were shut down all around WA. We (elec) stayed on our job. Heard Inslee is granting exemptions to commericial jobs in the area.If this virus is as bad as they say it is then half measure lockdown will fuck us. We'll see.
I've been laid off since August
Firefighter here, aside from the fact I’ll probably get the virus my employment is beyond stable at this point, we are so over run with it and have so many guys off duty due to exposure or infected I can work as much overtime as I want
what do you do when you aren't putting out fires?
I'm essential.
I keep the tendie factories going. Literally.
I work in one of the busiest cities in the world per capita, we are putting out fires a lot, but we also do medical runs. I average 12 runs in a 24 hour period but I’ve had as many as 30 runs, most fires was 14 fires in a 24 hour day, probably gave away enough people can guess where I work from that though
Guess I didn’t really answer your question though, when we do have downtime it’s spent cooking, fixing up the firehouse, or just hanging out, jon is actually really fucking awesome, but it’s a lot less naps than people think firemen take, at least where I’m at, a 24 hour shift with 0 sleep is pretty common
Job* not jon, fuck that guy
Have fun choosing between playstation and xbox neet. You can't have both on that neet pitance.
Xbox is nothing but a multiplat machine.
>with 0 sleep
that'll fuck up your immune system
Ready to collect more from unemployment than my actual job pays me. Thanks to mommy Nancy of course
Still wage slaving. Not a bad time to get laid off though
For sure, it much I can do about it though, I take my vitamins and work out religiously but when the bell goes off I have to go. I do it to myself though, I could transfer to a slower house but I like the action
Work on the railroad as a freight train engineer probably make 120,000 dollars this year.
RIP
Having gay orgies with the fellas for comradery
I'm getting paid an extra dollar by the hour for if I ignore the mandatory curfew and go to work, sweet.
Good. Fuck working.
Still essential
stupid-ass question
are you an engineer that works on trains or are you the guy running the train?
I'm a landlord how do I collect unemployment?
They are going to cut my pay. At least I still have a job I suppose.
Fuck China
I run trains
if the shutdown continues things are going to be GREAT for me as im in an epicenter of corona chan hosts
Anyone know what extra gibs Trump is giving to unemployed fags in big cities? Heard we'd be getting more than the usual amount.
This not working thing is real comfy.
I just.... suddenly hate nigs even more.
I have more cocaine and whores than I know what to do with..,
#winning
I finally got my equipment to work from home and my state lifts the lockdown next week.
>Wife’s a nurse
>I’m a firefighter
Lots of comfy OT and $3400 Trumpbux coming.
mason laborer here, i have work for at least another month unless they actually ban all non essential workers in california.
Waste your money
They already have but dont enforce it
I’m voting for Biden bc trump screwed neets.
>with another 10 million to come next week
Is this fucking real??
Based and thank both of you for your service pilled
yeah ive still been going to work every day, but if my boss wasnt taking it seriously i wouldnt go. fuck dying over a job. luckily my boss is making sure we are working outside and staying away from all beaner laborers.
I started a job with the gov in the start of march. I have pretty good job security. I got lucky, but work is crazy right now.
Can I get unemployment for being laid off as a seasonal UPS worker in January?
I'm working one essential job and had a job interview for a better essential job with higher pay/benefits.
Also most firefighters are baby boomers who haven’t retired yet. Which means it’s a good time to be an EMT.
Concrete construction work in SoCal. A lot of jobs got shut down in the Beverly Hills/Hollywood areas but the job site I'm stationed at in Malibu is still going strong. I have enough work for at least the next 2 weeks and the GCs there want to keep at least 2 people from our company on standby even if we're not doing anything for general questions and concerns. So life is pretty good and comfy. Would've been nice to get laid off and file for unemployment but having stuff to do is nice and traffic in LA has gone down dramatically. What was a 2 hour rush hour commute is now 45 minutes. Such a fucking blessing.
>not PC masterrace
kys
>i work in grocery store
>i get full time + benefits+ overtime
>but im exposed to the unwashed masses all day
Serious question but how many millions of unemployed people are going to be competing for jobs in the coming months? College graduates will be fighting for shartmart jobs stocking shelves if this keeps up.
No interruptions in the SSDI gibs, and Trumpbux will pay off my panic-buying credit card debt. Life is comfy.
I have my own small business that delivers to 8 grocery stores a day. I am just as fucked as you.
>getting an extra 600 bucks a week on top of unemployment
is this the power of UBI?!
FUCK UUUHHHHHHHHHGAAA
ya but you prob make more then 8.50 an hour and dont live in one of the largest cities in the country
Data analyst for state government. Work from home a few times a week normally. Full telework till summer at least. Now waiting for trumpbux. Only problem is state revenue going to tank, so I don't know. I do most of my employees work for them because they are stupid boomers so I think I'm safe. But the union has some shitty agreement regarding seniority. I'm not a member so I don't know. If I'm laid off I get my pension paid out. That would be pretty sweet.
> I average 12 runs in a 24 hour period but I’ve had as many as 30 runs, m
i was surprised to find out vegas has roughly a dozen or so each day
My hot flatmate is working full time now for some reason since her lab is still fully operational due to public funding. I’m lonely as fuck.
Does anyone have an idea when we start getting the extra $600?
whole foods employee same. they don't want us wearing masks only gloves and six feet distance.
how are the neets doing?
Still employed so far, but work was closed last Thursday. Found out yesterday that I'm getting paid for two weeks of the time we're closed, and will find out next week about reopening. Still a little bit worried about getting laid off at some point depending on how bad the economy gets.
