Just got an extra monitor at home so I could play games and watch March Madness

Still working albeit we are all working from home. We had a company call this morning basically saying no matter what happens with this virus and economy we will not be getting rid of any headcount and we have funding to remain open for a long time. That may change but it's a relief to hear at the moment.
My company laid off 0 people during the 2008 crisis (about 300 worked for them back then, I was in High School). We'd have to quarantine for 6 months before our balance sheet would start cracking.
Very lucky to have a stable job and to be safely working from home

Most of my work is project-related within the utility industry in the NW but most of those efforts are on hold. We've been ordered out of our facilities until end of April so I sit at home, check emails, do a daily check-in call then I take naps, look at "other" internet stuff and read books.
My wife usually works from home and I've sullied her nest by being here. Great test for retirement though!
i blame you personally for the low-interest rates yet not super low refinance rates.
I’m in sales dealing primarily with Ag. My job hasn’t changed much and I haven’t changed my habits at all. Some industries require me signing in and stating that I haven’t been or am I sick. I don’t shake hands anymore unless if they offer. People have tightened the belt on purchasing. So it’s business as usual for the most part.
The work we are doing now can all be done by phone or computer. I actually conducted an interview for a candidate today via ZOOM on the computer, so yeah, we are still going but taking precautions.
I'm a federal employee and work in a lab. They relaxed a bunch of teleworking rules, so I have been working from home all week. Fortunately I had a bunch of reports that needed writing, so timing has been good in that respect. That will eventually have to end because I will have lab work piling up soon that needs to be done.
Good luck man. I feel for so many of you that might be loose their jobs, or miss paychecks for awhile. Makes me so sad.
I think I'm gonna have to run in, grab a monitor, and bring it home. You don't realize how much they help until you don't have them.Started working at home. Construction estimator. I miss all my monitors.
I'm full-time WFH and have been for 13 years. Our entire company is WFH, we literally do not have an office building. Legal services industry, about 25 people. Revenue is recognized very slowly in our business, so the market effects on the company are more trickle down. They also linger longer.
The business made it through 2008 without anyone losing a job or missing a paycheck. We'll see how it goes this time. I'm prepared to work a reduced schedule if needed, but I'm not customer facing and have enough work to do to keep me busy for years. I'll probably be one of the last people they reduce or cut.

My friend works for a brokerage, and they sent everyone home who doesn't have a laptop with their towers/monitors/keyboards. I feel sorry for the IT support that has to fetch those phone calls.
Sorry, man. This is going to screw over a lot of people, especially those in small businesses.
I sent a good chunk of our staff home with their CPUs/3 monitors/keyboard/mouse/scanner/printer in some cases. I'm damn glad we have almost all HP EliteDesks that are tiny. Monitors were a pain in the ass but in order to be productive at all in our "paperless" environment you need at minimum 2 screens and 3 or 4 is better.
I'm very fortunate to work for a company that replaces computers fairly frequently (4 years) and gives the replaced CPUs and monitors to employees to be able to work at home or reimburses you for buying it yourself.
I co-own a small business selling aircraft parts. Sales are way, way, way down, as you would expect.
We only have about a dozen in the office, and lots of space between cubes. A few people are working from home, and a few more will prob join them in the next day or 2.
We can withstand a 2-3 months of sales at 10-20% of normal, we have a decent balance sheet. After that we are going to have real issues with making payroll. But for now, the goal is to take care of everybody.
