I agree with it wholeheartedly, just sucks being out of work. Supposedly govn is sending people money if they've been up to date with their tax returns, just a rumor I heard I doubt it
Has this virus actually effected anyone here?
Not much. Just before this happened I had started going to the gym and was enjoying it as a stress reliever and getting in shape and now thats completely gone.
my mistake. it wasn't a death it was a positive test result for a ford worker in wayne county and for a fiat worker in sterling heights. we supply GM and we're close to closing now.
Warehouse I worked at is closed indefinitely due to the virus, but I'm getting unemployment payments and $300/ month food stamps. So it's actually like an extended vacation. I'm loving it. Plus I get the $1000 checks Trumps sending out in April & May. Gotta be honest, the virus has been awesome for me.
My job in California is categorized as essential so I still work my 11-7 Mon thru Fri.
Classes are done though so a little more free time.
You got approved for food stamps??? Teach me sensei
Schools closed, hours cut voluntarily for now, friend and all his coworkers have been let go, only 1 case in the city I live but over 20 whrer I work. In SC.
Guess it depends on the state you live in, but I've been out of work the past 2 weeks, and only make about about half from unemployment what I did working in the warehouse. They approved me about $300/ month til I go in for review in August. I own my home and only monthly bills are electric & cell/ internet bundle, car insurance - together run me about $150/month. So the reduction in income doesn't effect me.
I'm just loving the down time with steady $ coming in
white house is saying there will be a one time payment to "families" for $3000. as a single, i'm probably fucked.
yeah i didn't have to do a 15 min presentation at school and may have online exams. i am also working from home for now.
