My world: Everyone at the software companies are working remotely. The chocolate factory shut down yesterday due to not be considered an essential business. The chocolate elve had already left due to health concerns. I handle all the commercial rentals myself so no impact:
I don't intend to lay-off anybody...if this stretches into June or July...then we may look at cutting salaries by 25 to 50%. With the $1,200 everyone is getting already from the gov, and the 4 month unemployment (+$600/week additional), if we have to do layoffs, then the Team will not be totally without funds.

I think you are reading this correctly.....this is similar language the SBA uses for EIDL loans ties to hurricane damage, natural disasters, etc. [Reply]
We broke all kinds of revenue records over the past twelve months. We had a 3-4 week downturn last March/April and sales have been insane ever since. Pre-covid there were 31 of us and now there are 36. Adding five jobs during a pandemic is pretty cool.
It has been extremely difficult trying to keep up with COVID requirements and best practices but we've gotten through. I've mostly had a great supporting cast. One shithead threatened legal action over us just trying to keep everyone as safe as possible. I no longer employ him, for a completely unrelated reason, of course. [Reply]
Need two employees badly. Hoping for a Mennonite miracle.

This is great to hear. We had similar experience. Started out with 31 employees, now up to 36 because the volume is just crazy. Bought & remodeled a new building to expand into. Glad to hear others have had success this past year. I know local contractors & such are booked out just from the volume of jobs they are getting. [Reply]
Better than I expected. I ended up in the black despite having no business producing a single dryland bushel. Lucky is better than good.
Prices have recovered. That helps. Steel prices have put a stop to the machinery upgrades I was going to make. That doesn’t help. Got my fertilizer bought right (it has went crazy) and some chemical bought right.
I'd say a lot of my clients were very fortunate for sure.....I'd like to think I helped with that. But there were a few that were severely damaged.....all survived though, and have a fighting chance....but that may only go so far as PPP will take them. [Reply]

any employee threatens legal action against his employer, especially over trying to promote workplace safety deserves to be fired. For a completely different reason, of course. . :-) [Reply]
