I am grateful to still be working...but...

I might be the only person who doesn't want "free" money, but when people are getting it who don't need it, me, something is wrong with the system. Just my opinion.

Friendly comment ,,, I understand your thoughts , but a " stimulus package " is designed in the hope , that the money goes out and gets put back into the economy . Whether it pays bills or someone spends it in retail . Helps support people , local business and tax money .

Let's all Pray for the small businesses, the mom and pops, and sole proprietors. Many of them will be closed for good unfortunately.

Grateful to be working too but honestly we're getting swamped in the Security field. Had several violent incidents since this stuff started. Crime isn't going anywhere sadly. Not to mention every homeless person I gottz deal with is like a Corona crap shoot. We're all breathing though so /shrug. Bring on another day..

No problem!
The Sky isn't really falling.
It's all overblown.
Just a Hoax.

Salary here took 20% pay cut. Raises coming in April postponed indefinitely. Rolling time off week at a time. Must use vac or furlough and apply for unemployment and benifits still deducted. Pushing 30+ yrs here. Dont mind giving fair share but unlike 08-09 where they gave some this time all take off our backs to keep their bottom line up. Glad to have a job but like others todays mgmt. is all about them and they remind us that we are just a number. I have begun to return the favor and consider them nothing but a chk and not worry about loyalty like I once did. My how times have changed

my work is owned by a major corporation, we have daily exposure, they have cut our hours, but hey they gave us a t shirt to thank us. they rake in billions per year, (not an exaggeration at all), and you get thanked with a t shirt.............that was degrading

That wasn't a thank you. It was corporate speak for "make your own dang masks. Here's the material!"

 

[bbqbrett]

Yeah same for me. Working from home and hours currently cut to 5 per day. Now they switched my job function to have me help out with customer service phone calls. All in all it is pretty annoying but at least I still have income coming in and insurance.

 

[negolien]

I do agree with the those working and on social security and welfare shouldn't be getting stimulus. I have had an excess of work so /shrug not sure why I' am getting extra cash. if I was so concerned about the virus I would stay at home then could see getting it. Just another free money grab imho to pander for votes.

Some agreement with some of the replies but not all. But right now it is a tough time for or country and we need to stick together and do what's right whether its for our own personal benefit or not.

I feel like I may be on the other side of this discussion as I have had to be the one to make the cost cutting decisions. We are doing rolling 1 week furloughs where we will cover medical and the associate can apply for unemployment. We are essential and building items for ventilators. If we come out of this healthy the plan is to supplement what people lost at the end of the year via bonus. We don't make billions/per year and are privately owned. Top management has also taken pay cuts.

I feel horrible for the huge number of people who not only have lost their income, but also their medical insurance.
I’ve found myself unemployed several times in my life, but this one is different. There are no jobs to apply for. I’m very fortunate to be essential staff and work for a company that is taking lots of precautions to protect those of us that have to report to work every day. And they are rewarding us with extra paid days off for coming in every day.
