So are the hourly employees just not going to get paid? That's so bad

my entire job situation is up in the air rn. like my boss assured me we're still gonna do training, but no actual canvassing is allowed until the company says otherwise.

this could be bad. i NEED to have some paystub action going on asap because i also have to start looking for a new place to live asap! i'm supposed to be moved out of this place on may 2! if i still haven't found a place to move into by then, i dunno what i'm gonna do lmfao, i dont wanna get stuck at a fucking extended stay again for a while

    

in a sane world this situation would call for some sort of housing payment freeze





im not confident we live in a sane world tho

jesus that fucking sucks. talk about awful timing

ok so after some clarification from my boss (because this is really a constantly changing event), it seems that basically, most of my "training" is going to be remote and kind of up to me. he'll send some stuff my way, we'll talk about it when we need to, might be able to grab a little bit of office time to convene on stuff, but it's mostly remote and he's basically just like "we're going to just pay you for twenty hours this week even if you memorize this script in 20 minutes"

so one way or another i'll still have the hours and the pay even if i'm barely doing anything lol

but as far as actual canvassing goes, we're out of commission until at least early april. i REALLY hope things are under control by then so i can start some actual work.

if i had found this job just two weeks earlier this would have gone much smoother

but we'll make it work

ok so my manager is like 66y/o and he goes on surgeries and vacations equal to like 3-4 months overall
and it's actually disgusting how much he takes advantage of us young guys- he thinks it's righteous considering all the work he's done to get to where he's at- which i think is complete nonsense

so yeah now he's gonna be gone for a month bc of this stint, and we're going to be taking in more hours unfortunately. 
sad for my friend bc he has to take the brunt of this all...

not that im mad at him for leaving atm bc he is in that age range, but lol i just want a competent young manager that can actually do shit and not complain about physical issues in a department where it's all heavy shit lol, he sits down for the most part

sucks so badly man, we're carrying this guy's career, and not like he's doing anything illegal.  but jesus man. 

although i am in sales for a completely different department, i've had to go to the grocery sections because of all this stress and it's not like they're paying me more on avg either

boyah HELP 

guys

We'll have to start carrying badges or identification while we drive because police are stopping people.

a lot of people at my work just got laid off, im taking 20% pay cut. this shit is so stressful

We're getting a $2/hr raise but only until mid April. Then what? We're still dealing with the potentially sick people coming in shopping.

But you are getting to keep your job, right? It's not a temporary thing?
