Yeah hopefully. D:

Like yeah its illegal, but they can say it is an attendance issue/bring up other issues they never brought up before just to make it justifiable. Or as my boss does, schedule you like 3 hours or not at all and just say there are no hours for you. (:(:(:

He shoulddd. He's arguing with me about it but I'm like 'I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT AND MISS WORK'. And he's missed 2 days so far and he can't really afford to miss work like that either. ID

yeah exactly they can find SOME reason to fire you

ugh yeah but that's shitty because you shouldn't go to work and spread it more if you do have it. but then people are afraid of missing work/can't afford to do it!!

Yeah, so why it is illegal, they will just go around it.

Exactly. :( They should be offering paid leave if people think they could have it/until they can confirm if they do/don't. then if they do have it continue the paid leave.
Bc someone like me will unfortunately just not tell anyone and continue going to work because like, I need the job/money. I can't afford not to otherwise I will be homeless.

mmm I think companies can't afford it either
here they made schools close down, so they are docking pay for the time. it's like unpaid vacation time

I mean tbh the company I work for could afford it, especially since we're hurting so much in sales already they are losing a good chunk of money labor wise anyways. And it's a big food company which adds to its ability to do it. But they won't bc they are cheap, so if we do close it will be without pay. >> Though I guess Washington is trying to pass something so they are forced to pay you if you have the virus/are in quarantine.

ah yeah if it's a big food company then they should be able to afford it! I was surprised because it was my friend's company who said that they would be docking pay for the week off even though they were forced to take it off. guess since the government forced them to close. and they are losing money when students don't go

well you can hope they don't just close forever like my job did |D

Ahhhh yeah if the government forced them to close that might be different? ;o I know all the cases here the places have only shut down a day to clean and then opened back up the next day.

Aldjaljg I'd be on a 20 minute commute if they did. ID

ah yeah maybe? my company (even though they're closed now) still paid us normally for Feb and are even paying us 2 weeks for March.

hopefully they're still cleaning each day |D

ugh commutes suck. I live a 5-10 min walk from my job haha

yeah if only they didn't close |D this job really was nice to work at

haha cleaning once is not sufficient

the other job I worked at was more of a 20 min walk, so this one is more convenient haha. but again it's overrrr. sob. I'll see how my next one is I guess xD

the actual people managing us were very nice. ;u; and the work load was honestly pretty light haha

mmm one of them is. but it wouldn't matter. I would have to move for any job I take since my housing is provided by the job

clone yourself and have them deal with the problems

Yes!

haha yes they probably were too nice. can't be nice. can just be focused on making money

uhhh I think it depends. they can be empty or they can come with basic stuff. or maybe stuff will be left by a previous teacher too haha

Do they come with beds or do you have to buy/move a bed every time? ;o
since that is an important piece of furniture. xD

sadly that's the state of life

they don't necessarily come with beds. one coworker had to buy everything in her apartment. it was just an empty place when she arrived |D
