    Attention Anyone laid off yet

    My main business is transportation so we are still open, but we are having less to move everyday. Not sure how much longer we can stay in business. My brewery was deemed essential, but only for to go orders and people are trying to support, but when you dont know if you have another paycheck coming craft beer is low on the list of essentials.

    At this point, everyday, I feel like tomorrow could be the day

    Wife works for child support enforcement for the county and has been told they can't go back to the building until April 20th at the earliest. Luckily, she can work from home and for the time being, she will be getting her full pay while she works at home. At work for me, because we are manufacturing, we're considered an essential business, but, last week incoming RFQ's really slowed down and it's been slow today, so I really don't know what things look like in the long term here if this drags out. For now I have a job still.

    Yeah, we just let go 5 people today, and our VP is in here saying we dont have enough freight to stay open. We could be getting let go this week, or even tomorrow

    So far I still have a job. In my case, I'm more worried about the cost of a barrel of oil ( due to the Saudis) than the Corona virus. Of our fleet of rigs in west texas which is currently about 30, 8 are being dropped in april. Some of this is normal election year cycles, but damn.

    They are saying oil could get to under $1.00 a gallon before this is over.

    I work a school. Our last day was yesterday, although I'm more or less self- sufficient particularly when I travel and rent my main home out

    Glad most of you guys sound to be doing alright. Speak up if I/we can help (although our monopoly money is going to be worthless soon ). I've got some family and friends who have been laid off already, and are going to be in some trouble if the lockdowns last more than a few weeks.

    My wife and I are fine, my job is fairly stable but hers being in medicine is even more so, so we'll be fine... as long as the entire economy doesn't collapse *touch wood*

    We build car dealerships in NJ/NY and shit has been crazy. Between trying to get deliveries for metal, cement, sheetrock and other building supplies and workers calling out, it has not been easy.

    Construction has not been banned here yet, but who knows what the next day will bring. I hope you and your families stay safe.

    Speaking of support, I love collecting mugs and tees from small breweries (my wife loves that all her nice matching glasses are pushed to the back of the cabinet ), and your label is real nice. Is there a place to order merch?

    You can PM me your info address/shirt size. I dont have any merch online, but I can see what the cost to ship it would be.
