Hopefully things will change for you. Our Governor announced yesterday that elective surgeries could start up again on May 1. Make sense to me. Sterile environments and no one is going to be operated on that is sick!

It comes down to is your postion NEEDED at this time? Do you operate and maintain a critical infrastructure app or hardware? Can we utilize this persons skill set for a NEED. Is night shift tech work NEEDED? maybe. I have a feeling my working from home these past few weeks was a test of how it would go without support staff onsite.

My God that sucks. You think they'd really put your name on the chopping block for mandatory furlough? If any of us can help out, just let us know. I'll bring the damn beer for July. Haha

Sorry to hear that. It is crazy times. One of my racing buddies actually broke his foot at the last track event two days before the shutdown here. His wife is a nurse manager for Banner and he works in facilities. He was put on furlough and told that he needed surgery on his foot but it would have to wait until they could figure out heads or tails of the COVID crisis. He finally got it about a couple of weeks later.

Id take voluntary, but its weeks to get unemployment started plus the extra $600 goes away in July, takes hours every week to go through to put in your claim. ugh. Maybe I should do voluntary and get used to the system before it possibly and most likely becomes mandatory layoff.
