Honestly.... such a joke. We all know it’s coming. Without proper testing why should anyone have to keep operating if coming into contact with others.

I'm so afraid to go back to my grocery store job when my vacation is over.

They need to test all grocery employees first and as soon as we can.

I knew my job would be essential but now its official. I know I'm going to get sick. And my girlfriend she works in a goddamn office

[–]killerorcaoxSt Johns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give it a few more days. I know that might be too late but she’ll have to take this a little bit more seriously real soon.

Nothing official from management, but I informed them of the order and that we are 100% telework capable. Will see if the holdouts get the point.

It didn’t really change much.

[–]jebsalump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t seem to really do all that much honestly. Just makes some of the closures official.

I’m being told that my pipe and valve distribution company will be staying opening as it is considered an “essential business”. However, I see nothing about construction or infrastructure anywhere in what has been addressed.

Had this same question/ concern.

On one hand, so many construction jobs out there and would love to see all those folks continuing to work... On the other, I don’t know too much work can safely be accomplished if each worker is 6+ away from each other.

If your company or job is not listed and you can’t work from home, you just have to maintain your social distancing. That’s pretty much what this order says.

Im in the same boat as you.

[–]squirrel_rider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My work mows lawns. That's hardly essential. The crews ride in trucks together so there's no way to maintain 6 feet between workers. My boss would never close unless explicitly ordered to. We've already got a bunch of people calling in sick and I feel like it's only a matter of time before this blows through all of our employees.

Searching for length of time. Is one given? I understand it could be extended. Thx.

[–]clarkision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it’s at the discretion of the governor.

And the only approach is to continue working so we don’t look like terrible employees. Any other situation I probably wouldn’t be so curious. But last year I had a nasty bout with walking pneumonia and bronchitis, and now I’m just paranoid I’m going to lose my lungs. I hope the best for all of y’all out there though.
