Do you get paid for your staycation?

I've heard a number of different ways employers are handling it. Paid time off, Unpaid time of, and lay off. Just depending on what the particular job is.

Absolutely not. And I have 35 hours of sick pay accrued. Can't cash in any of it. All employees were just put on standby until the park is permitted to open. rolleyes

A lot of places are in panic mode as well. movie theaters are in financial crunches.

Hefty amount of restaurants are closed as they don't have take out options. sports are all closed up, bars are closing up. anywhere where people normally congregate are in trouble with their businesses minimized.

No one is sure how long this will last.

I saw some dumb statistic online about how our 3.5% unemployment rate just spiked to 20% but idk... feels like more than that!

Oh, I know the movie theater thing. I got "laid off" from the one I work at because of the COVID-19 stuff.

They were already having to cut back on people's hours because we just weren't getting enough customers coming in to warrant having so many people on the clock. Part of it was because we didn't really have anything good out - some had been out in theaters since Christmas (i.e. Jumanji) and others weren't family friendly. So, business was already low due to that... so it practically went ka-put when things became more serious regarding the virus.

I'm just thankful I have my job at the assisted living to count on and help bring in some income during these crazy times.

I was really looking forward to the Black Widow movie! crying

it really varies, like, most grocery stores and big box retail stores are still open. Banks are for the most part open. (in most cases they might close an hour early to the public to clean the store, and have some teams constantly cleaning during the day)

in my case, the education system for the most part, is trying to keep a lot of their workers. Many of us that aren't doing actual online learning opportunities, are on call for other things (like delivering worksheet packets, or helping with the free and reduced lunch options by making lunches for kids) And maybe they know that since the education pay is kind of s**t, are trying to keep their workers for after things eventually return to normal.

I've heard that the cinema may never recover from this, many have been hurting already before this hit. Do you have plans for what you might be able to do after this? work full time in the assisted living? find a second job afterwards?

I was also looking forward to the black widow movie. I wasn't really impressed with Captain marvel, and they keep bringing that movie back up. But really that has been the only marvel movie of the cinematic universe that i felt could have been done a lot better.
