He can certainly work from home but his boss is insisting that he come to the office everyday. His boss doesn’t believe in the seriousness of the virus, etc. My buddy is not sure what to do. I told him to just take a month off unpaid - he can do so as he’s not financially in a dire position - but not sure that’s the right advice. Any thoughts?? One of the few things I've learned in business that has never let me down is to always do my best to put my myself and my company in a position where someone needs me/us more than I need them. It sounds like your friend has done that in terms of not being in a financial jam right now. That said, where is his office? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 This thread has become a virus in itself. And it was the lefties and/or Trump haters who came in here and infected it. I get that you folks hate Trump and want to blame him on everything to no end, but, I have a simple question to the people who are blaming Trump over this.............. What are you doing to help your fellow citizens over this while saying Trump is doing nothing? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating to those affected, shopping local, social distancing, tipping extra to service people, informing the public with data when they spread false statements or have questions.

GG Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 2 hours ago, TPS said: Exactly, and why people are criticizing that lack early testing. As I stated in my post to 1959, while there are areas in the country where testing is important due to low outbreaks, for those in the midst of it, it will become relevant as we come out of it and transition to back to "normal" whatever that is... Yes, I've been criticizing DeBlasio's lack of focus too. The most plausible reason the rest of the country is experiencing slower outbreaks is that people now know what to do far better than NY & NJ did in late April/early March. People are keeping their distance and cleaning up. There's far more attention being paid to a sniffle that they would have scoffed off a month ago. I'll ask again, would the contagion be slower if there were more tests early on or if CDC had started running the virus prevention public service announcements that are pervasive now? 3 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said: Equating mayoral response with presidential response?
