The good news is there is a definitive end date to it all. When sports are back, we are back. Just have no clue how long this is going to take.
Company is also paying 100% of our health premiums. So could be worse. But all this could change if it’s no sports till fall.

There were going to be cases. It was unavoidable. For the most part they’re not a big deal. The good news is the hospitals are doing fine still. Probably better than expected at the moment.

That is the batshit stuff of the interwebs. If you believe in that stuff, there is nothing that can be done for you.

Welp, my employer's accounts are frozen. Apparently, the investors have locked down everything, so I'm now not only not getting paid, but I am owed back pay.
Fucking bullshit.

I hope to God you don't fall for any of that BS. I LOL when they zoomed in on Tom Hank's son tattoo of the all seeing eye. Of course!

Finally found toilet paper, which we actually need (not hoarding) but boy the old "supply & demand" is certainly kicking in. Is an 18 pack of Charmin usually $18?

Dont think so. Lucky enough that my FT job is allowing me to work from home. Downfall of that is 80% of my TP usage was always at work and the gym!
Local place usually has TP. Worker told me they have a good amount in the back, but only put some out each night for the mornings, and then again around 2pm they put out more.

The entire company, from the CEO down, is not getting paid apparently. This is ridiculous.

I'm in digital marketing, which has been mostly immune, but I work in the CBD niche, which is really new, so this market tailspin is throwing the whole space into uncertainty, and apparently, that's why the investors have everything shut down.

This sounds a little fishy, unless the company literally has zero cash or loan availability.
Sorry to hear, regardless.
