School district just decided to close until April 3rd. That sucks large.
not only are the schools here closed until the 13th, but they also keep their Easter break. my wife works for a large corporation and she could easily work from home, but they are waiting on a final word today from corporate to make the decision. at least she can watch the kids while at home since they aren't doing anything for a month..
For some reason they won't let us respond from home. Bullshit. 
My company, is currently still trying to come up with a plan. The VPN won't handle +50k people working remote.
Our Governor just spoke. State offices are to remain open.
I'm at the main office downtown and we have 3 buildings, 5+ stories each, connected by skywalks so probably close to 1000 employees.
I guess they're going to wait until a central office employee test positive then be reactive having us work remotely.

Us too man. We have no signs of closing but our appointments typically for a monday around 130, today was 68. Usually when I answer the phone I make an appointment (or answer some BS question), but today they have been people cancelling appointments. My wife (a teacher) is off the next 2 weeks minimum, no word on if shes getting paid or not. I have no minimum pay or safety net as I'm sure you are paid the same. This might get rough
Just got the news that I am going to be at home for the foreseeable future. If this gets into some of the Amazon/FedEx/UPS/USPS facilities that could create some really interesting scenarios. I feel really bad for those who own small business or in the service industry. Buying gift certificates is a good way to support your local businesses while they struggle.
Yeah its going to. Just got word that we will be shutting down 3 hours early for next 3 weeks. And they are cutting us off at 40 hours and we usually work 50. So 10 hours a week of OT that we wont be getting. And just heard from another advisor at another dealership that he is getting cut to 30 hours.
We've been directed to work from home if we have the ability and/or if we feel ill. My daughter's school is closed for the next 2 weeks. Though, I expect with yesterday's announcement from the CDC regarding gathers of more than 50, it will be closed for the duration of the school year before long.
Fortunately, the company I work for is 120K people, and $40B dollars. We should be ok, but that doesn't mean there won't be significant short term pain, all because of a massive over-reaction.

Little Rock mayor orders city facilities closed, curfew to start Wednesday
Fortunately, both my wife and I can work from home. Prayers go out to those in the service industry that will be going without pay for the unforeseeable future.
I'll head down and wipe some boogers on steering wheels.
You get OT? Never heard of it lol. We are straight commission. Doesn't matter how many hours I work its all on total sales. Basically if I don't have cars here or customers are spending all their money on toilet paper I don't make jack.
we are hourly plus 7% commission. Its minimum wage but it helps getting the overtime.
Sounds a lot like my day.
