Still working. Multi-tasking right now.

OMG yes.
Although I ditched LinkedIn. Never really used it and their security sucks. Anyone can apparently just mimic your company, and say they are hiring, in what I assume is an attempt at identity theft. Not that the positions were even in the same industry, so pretty poor attempt. There was no one to contact about this that I could find easily, so I pulled all my stuff down. I think I flagged the classifieds. It's stupid.
Heal up quick! Glad someone is losing weight in this quarantine, lol.

Yes to this.
The current system of paying waitstaff is broken and ancient. Its need to burn to the ground.
I think this situation can offer an opportunity to change that landscape. I dont have an answer but I sure as hell am thinking about it.
I am a chef, own my own place and also manage 2 catering properties. All of that went to zero overnight. All staff laid off, no income for me. When I rebuild, I want a better system for my cooks and waitstaff.

I really hope when this is done many of the WFH people will stay that way.
Less traffic, less pollution, less consumption.

Been talking about this a lot here in SLC with our pollution problems. We could be on the cusp of a cultural change. My company currently has over 4,000 employees and something like 1,000 of them could be at least partially WFH. We are running out of room for parking, building a new building, but haven't been seriously looking at getting people offsite, until now.

The booze in bars comes from the state liquor stores (Grizzly, KrisCo, Lolo Liquor are the only ones local) which, in turn, comes from the state's liquor warehouse in Helena. The liquor warehouse has at least $12 million worth of liquor at any one time. The system is dumb as hell but Montana is NOT running out of liquor any time soon.

I’m 4 days WFH now, 1 office day.
When this is over I’m going to request at least 2 WFH days going forward.

I was in the U District yesterday and almost took a pic of I-5 on my way home at 4:30pm, there were periods of a few seconds with zero cars on the road, all pavement.

I hate working from home, but my office is only a six-minute drive. And that's with traffic.

Took my dog to the vet today and had them come outside to get him. Sat in my car on a conference call from work talking about the upcoming junkshow/layoffs in our badly wounded industry. Several other people at the vet did the same thing I did but some people just went inside because the office is still open to the public. I think those people are crazy, and why is the office still open? I'd hate to be counter help in there.

I’m a baker and business is booming. People got to eat. Was recreating in Utah and came home to wtf happened. Glad I got to finish out season but worried for all the service folk I used to serve.

Hahaha. Seriously. People w/o kids have NO clue how much crazier things are for us. Normally, weeks are chock full of outings, pre-K, play dates, etc. Now that they're forced to stay home without seeing other kids they're going freaking bonkers, which is driving me nuts. I WISH I could be chillin' at home binging Netflix and such!

Somehow my kid’s daycare reopened.
I sent her.
Worth the risk.

Working.
Work in Financial Services. I’ve been WFH for 6 years at least. I Manage a team of relationship managers. I’d go to the office once a week or as needed. Have not been in since late February.
Sent my entire team home 2 weeks ago, some were already 100% WFH.
Company mandate last Monday that everyone is WFH until further notice.
Wife and 2 kids are home now too.
Happy hour has been starting earlier and earlier as of late.

Impressive.
I'm still working. We are a wholesaler with about 5% retail sales. Retail is closed and wholesale is pick-up at the curb or delivery only. NH is not in a 'shelter in place", but even if we were we are considered essential. Business has been surprisingly strong this week, but we have no doubt that it is going to drop next month and more significantly the following month. We'll be making pay cuts just like in '08. Layoffs and furloughs have already begun, but in all honesty, those were mostly cuts that should have been made prior, but we needed anyone with a pulse for the past several years.
