I was reading this yesterday, and I know the local Amazon distro center has been receiving hazard pay (2 to 4 an hour extra) plus as much overtime as they can handle.

What is funny is the one organizing this was fired for violating a COVID-19 quarantine order from Amazon management . . . .

Sounds like they want to get on the freebee bandwagon....stay at home & collect unemployment PLUS $600 a week. Nice vacation. Why work? Multi-millions of welfare leeches can't be wrong.

This "extra," unemployment money is going to destroy us.

Personally, I would interpret employees walking off as them "quitting," which means they will have a very tough time collecting unemployment. I would make a statement ahead of the 'walk out,' to reflect that. "If you do not show up to work, I will be accepting that as your resignation."

There is also much talk of a second, and even THIRD phase of "stimulus" money… as much as $2K a month. We need to get back to work and producing... not print money.

An upside to IT is that I can work from just about anywhere there's internet, so I've been working this whole time (in fact, I'm working right now!).

Downside is we support health care, which is still laying off people left and right . . . .

My daughter is a senior brand marketing manager in a $10 billion dollar APP company in L.A. The whole CORONA virus "crisis" has everyone there working from home as well. They are now having meetings with the CEO and CMO... because their costs have been slashed, and their profits are way UP. THRIVING, is what she told me. They are now reconsidering their entire approach.... realizing that more employees working from home reduces hardware expenditures. Buildings, infrastructure, ect…. This so-called "crisis" has companies re-examining their business models.

Wife went back to work on Friday. She hasn't received one cent in unemployment. Hers had been denied 4 weeks in a row and you cannot get in touch with anyone to find out why. She has sent letters, emails nothing works.

What "Back to work?" I haven't stopped working. I sit here in the back of the room and do my thing. Then go home after 8 hours and do what needs to be done there.
