Was informed yesterday that we're essential. I'm honestly not convinced we should be though. It's a hotel, so I get not wanting to leave people stranded... but why are those people travelling during this? Almost all the calls we get are either cancellations, or people planning a get away trip. No, this isn't the time for trips. Emergencies, sure, going home or to be with family, absolutely. Just wanting a trip to a nice "safe" town to relax, NO.

It feels like us staying open is just encouraging people to keep travelling.

CEO: hey fuck nut thing A is broken go fix it.
Me: internal thought FML.
Me: Sir thats 7 states away and I cannot leave my house.
CEO: want to be employed at the end of this call?
Me: Hangs up call . Calls national and AMEX to schedule trip

I mean, that's at least understandable. If you have to, then you have to. Which is why I understand staying open, but that's not been the case so far. It's been all the Canadians from Florida going home(understandable) and and bunch of people taking advantage of the clearer highways to travel better.

Technically I think the engineering company I work for is non-essential. We deal with material handling/storage and work with storage racks, shelving units, gondolas, cantilevers, etc. Our clients are mostly warehouse/retail stores owners.

Some of our clients might be involved with food, medicine, and distribution but we ourselves do not provide essential products/services.

The company owner sent out an official notice that if people are uncomfortable coming to work they may use their vacation/sick days or even take out money from their 401k. Not exactly the type of response I woulda like even though I am comfortable coming to work unless the office is forced to closed.

Alot of people assume there job is essential but its not. Med staff essential. Bill processsing and customer service nom essential. Grocery store essential. IT support non essential (on call at best). Gas stations essential. Mechanics not essential. Police officers essential. Lawyers not essential.

Whats bad is thats just a taste of what is outline in some states essential job descriptions. I mean what by good does 14 gallons of gas do you if you can start you car do to a cpu problem. What good is a grocery store if the pos terminals cannot process transactions. What if your arrested for illegitimate reasons and are told you will be in processing until the job sees you when he does

That is incorrect. Without mechanics, what happens to truckers or other people who are essential? The problem is MOST jobs are essential when we look at it.

My job was told it is not "non-essential" so we are still working, but now working at home. I work at a call center and the department I'm in is quality assurance for an electric company, which would itself certainly be essential. Not sure quality assurance is essential at this point in time, but I'm working anyway, and thankful we are because I can only survive if I'm making money.

I work in Pathology dealing with emergent cases. Non critical surgeries and non emergent procedures have all been canceled. A lot of clinics are shut down and triaging where I live.

i know a lot of people who are suddenly out of work and I feel terrible for their situation. Ive never seen anything like this and have never been more grateful to have a job.

I work for an online casino, so definitely not essential. Heck people sinking money on slot machines, rather than food or donating to health services, is actively hurting the virus war effort.

If say gas stations are non essential as far as the store part of them. Most pumps can be used while the store itself is closed these days. But I guess some people who dont have debit cards exist.

And when you say police i assume you mean all law enforcement cause prison guards are technically not considered that i feel we are since we are infact a part of the enforcement aspect.

I don't honestly know if I'd be considered essential or not. I'm in the energy sector, and that's largely considered an essential service, so probably yes?

I work from home even when there isn't a pandemic going on, so it's a null issue for me, but... yeah, dunno.

No I was saying they said gas attendants are essential while saying that mechanics were not. I think you may have skimme because you say the same thing I just did

Also they were saying lawyers were unessential even though they help provide balance in the legal system

postal Employee. The mail never stops. Even on Sundays we still get mail. We just dont deliver until Monday. So we are doing Sunday and Monday on Monday. And on federal holidays. Which is why the day after a federal holiday is the worst.
