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.
Somewhat related in the bad news department - just got word that a local sandwich shop that's been in the same spot for 23 years in my city has decided to close up permanently. Really great people and good food. Hate to see small businesses closing. [Reply]

There’s a deli in Springfield that I love that I’m worried about

Yeah I was doing call in orders to the local outfits I liked but most of them closed. I hate to see their financials. [Reply]
Just got an email from my banker. Sent me a document to sign and send back over. He said it's approved and once he has that signed paper, the money will be funded to my account. Glad I finally heard back. [Reply]

Got funded today, paid the staff today. We had to work a couple days to get some emergency patients in so I went ahead and paid the girls hazard pay out of my own pocket.
I am so thankful for my staff. They’re awesome and have made this stressful time somewhat easier. I’m very lucky [Reply]

WTF Chase?
Hope you hear something soon. We had enough to get through a couple months and I had some alternate ways to make things work if needed what we had wasn't going to make it, but it is a relief to hear that the money should be there today.
Also - just want to say thanks to DJ. I had not thought about putting this into a new, separate account until you mentioned it. Thanks for the great idea man! Should make tracking so much more easy when we need to account for everything. [Reply]

Yeah, there's 'my staff' and then there's 'my staff'...
I've been picking up meals for my finance department peeps a couple times/wk just to thank them for keeping things running. There are 9 people in the dept but most are working from home. 3 of them are coming in and physically writing/posting checks, directing work and cracking whips when needed on the folks back home.
They've been invaluable. More amazingly, one of them put in notice 8 weeks ago (she's moving to Texas) so she knows she's gone around May 1 but even still says she'll probably stick around for awhile to keep helping out. How incredible is that? She's keeping here eye on our long-term prospects knowing full well that she's just not gonna be here for it.
The people you'd go to war with show themselves so damn fast when stuff like this pops up. [Reply]
