Of course not. People are scared and just want someone to blame and are looking for ways out of saying this isn't going to be so bad. I'm sure Tim Cook shut down Apple and risked the loss of millions of dollars based on one talking head on CNN and not actually doing his own research and seeing what's going to happen is they don't get proactive about it. Same with all the other businesses that are closing down.

Cook and Trump and Wal-Mart aren't all tanking the economy and losing billions because they want to. It's because they honestly believe something worse will happen if they don't... |

Looks like cheddar, tastes [mostly] like American, crumbles like feta. Not great, not horrible. Horrible was the butter. It managed to soak up the flavors of everything under the rainbow. |

The only thing we can hope is that the numbers don't jump exponentially once the testing rolls out. Yes there will be a jump - but how much of jump will there truly be?

Why not just let you have time off unpaid? Why do they have to actually lay you off and not bring you back later? |

This will probably cost me my job. Awards companies are getting hurt bad today like so many others. Most of our business is from schools, sporting events, and other functions that involve gatherings of people. Already today we've had several people cancel their orders, some of which we've already ordered the product.
It doesn't help that we weren't doing so hot before all this. |

You can always find more salesmen down the road when you need them, rather quickly for almost any industry. They don't want to carry the bloat now that the writing's on the wall is my guess. Some executive Ivy grad prolly said to get out in front and "streamline" now . Sucks shit, but sales and service folks are essential right up until they aren't.
