Right there with you. I keep a bedside job in a fast paced ED in downtown SF. I have a management gig that occupies me during the week down on the peninsula in a pretty fast paced ED. Last Friday was straight up appocolypse now in the city. Took care of three, one was intubated by a bunch of people in hoods. Trying to send the family down to Central America before I infect them all!!

Well, apparently building windows in Minnesota is an essential business. I'm still working so you can buy windows at Home Depot to install while you are sheltering in place. I probably jinxed myself now....

NH is going to shelter in place tomorrow at midnight.
A much larger peer company to ours just took some drastic measures.
Hourly and salary < 100k receive a flat check of $500 per pay period. Unclear on that, but would assume 2 weeks.
<150k - $300
>150k - $0
All health insurance is covered 100% for all employees currently on their plan.
Not sure how that is going to work out.

Been WFH full-time for almost two weeks. The only thing preventing me from WFH previously was my direct colleague that lives a 5 min bike ride from the office, and couldn't wrap his head around virtual meetings. His first Zoom meeting after prescribed GTFO, and his mind was blown, now he's all in.
I don't mind the office. The MTBing is better in town, and I like being around colleagues. When (if?) this passes, I'll probably switch to an alternating home/office schedule. It's about a 20 minute commute, which is nice to skip, but free shuttle service started back in November and I've been enjoying zoning out and working or watching TV on my way in.
Vibes to those who are out of work. Stress is high enough, I truly wish you all the best.
We've found some fantastic local resources that we're donating to. That's where my Trump check will go as well. We may just have to crowdsource our way out of this thing.Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Who's still working?
Not contractors in WA anymore, unless it's for critical infrastructure...

I just heard from some folks we work with across the river...they were told to shut it down or a $1k fine

Checking in as still working. I work from home mostly anyway. My companies operation is still running so the cash flow is still coming in to keep us paid. But constraints are closing in on us. Notably supply chain and domestic flights. I’m considering each pay check my last, until we return to normal.

Amazingly, there is still a lot of building going on. We're a commercial roofing sub-contractor and the two jobs coming up next week are still a go. One is for an addition to an elementary school. Each district has the capacity to determine what's 'essential' and this project was declared essential. Therefore, we'll have a crew there Monday at 7:00 to receive materials and commence work. The other project is also receiving materials on Monday and it's full-on under construction. In that case, the owner has a contract with the DOD and this building is required to fulfill the contract so, DOD trumps the State and we're full-on.
We have a hotel project that's supposed to start in about 5 weeks so that may get nixed for now. They're way behind schedule, anyway so it was likely going to slip, regardless. Still lots of bidding going on and repair work is ongoing so, we've not really slowed down. In fact, we're mostly ramping up and looking for roofers as we have a very large backlog for later in the year.
ETA: I was somewhat amazed that the pot and liquor stores were exempted to the shut down of commercial business but then I realized that they're a significant tax resource to the State. No way does the State want to cut off a lucrative tax base like that!

I have to be more subtle, or try to be. These teams meetings are tough, because on a normal conf. call I am giving them the double birds or the Sicilian salute, or just aggressively rolling my eyes. I rolled my eyes during one of the teams meetings. Hope it went unnoticed. My boss insists the camera be on. We are pretty sure he is taking notes about those wearing t shirts, typing during the meeting, etc. He is a true nano manager. Exhausting for someone who just wants to get shit done.

I have a couple projects that just got fast tracked. They are at resorts that are sitting empty now. These were originally summer projects, since it is hot as balls here, and hardly anyone besides locals stay in the resorts.
I am amazed that Disney and Universal don't have construction out there 24/7 right now. Working those projects around tourists must be a nightmare. With everyone gone, for the first time in forever, they could put their equipment wherever they want and have at it. Maybe they have opened it back up, but early on, the places were ghost towns.
We had a hotel project break ground early in Tampa on Monday. They had their run of the streets and probably got the site prep done 2 weeks ahead of schedule because they weren't in anyone's way.
It is truly amazing the amount of work that is getting hammered out here right now. It may end soon, but the county Tampa ia in only has 164. My county only has 64. The others around us drop off bigly. Broward and Dade are a mess due to international travel and New Yorkers. Hoping we stay low on the numbers now that everyone is home.

I see the freeway construction guys still out every day as I am still driving to work and back. these guys are not filling potholes, they are expanding the freeway. not sure why that couldn't wait for things to clear up. freeway construction completion is never on time.

It’s pretty advantageous for them to work now when traffic is lower plus they are literally in the definition of critical infrastructure...

Classic Skoug. Nope, no benefits that I can see to pushing ahead with major freeway construction when traffic volume is way, way down. No clearly discernible benefits whatsoever, especially in light of warthog's post immediately above.
edit: damn it, nick beat me to it, albeit without the sarcasm.

Are these ID or WA? The Idaho order states commercial and public works as essential but residential is non-essential. I don't get why commercial gets a by...I would get it if the projects were for essential services but no stipulation there. Blaine County (Sun Valley area), just halted all construction unless emergency such as water mains and sewer from all the kahle and kleenex flushings.

Construction still going in MT. I think some bigger commercial projects in the bigger cities have been shut down. I'm still building a log house but it's just me and a buddy onsite and it's a little bit out the way.
Edit: and Gov just announced stay at home order. Construction is still considered essential for nowLast edited by lifelinksplit; 03-26-2020 at 05:03 PM.
