My company sinks even lower: now they're withholding pay raises and bonuses. Emails from Corporate say it's to keep the company afloat.

If your company is publicly held, check their executive pay, bonuses, and options.

Fun fact: when the president of Gimbel's saw Death of a Salesman in 1949 he asked to go on stage afterwards and announced that henceforth no one in his company would ever be let go for being over age.

None of the MBA POS sociopaths in big business today could even conceive of going beyond the letter of law for their employees.

Of course that’s the case with many, but not all. I don’t know thr size and scope of where she works. I do know some smaller places don’t have huge pay and are hurting

I'm fine with mom and pop shops doing what they need to, though in the event it's usually those places that carry their employees because they see them as human beings.

But anybody with more than 100 employees had better have a good reason, and anybody with more than 1000 employees can f-ck themselves unless they first give back every penny of their executive compensation for the last twenty years.

I'm not quite following why this is bad? Is seems necessary and a very good action. And while I'm sure righties are being their usual selfish dumbsh-t selves, I'm not seeing this as a reaction to bad behavior but just as the correct measure for public health.

He should drop the "Ryan." It's perfect otherwise.

It was needed, but this is the 2nd time Chicago has outright done the opposite of what they were told to do. We were told to not go out to bars/resturants, so we packed them at the next opportunity for St. Patty's day. We were told that the parks would be open for use, but not to congregate in groups. Playgounds and other "high congestion" areas were closed. Our answer: Take groups of kids to the playgrounds and go play soccer and basketball (and do the fishing socialization I mentioned previously).

Its been said, but this is a prime example of an entire class losing recess because 4 guys couldn't shut up for 20 minutes while the teacher was teaching.

OK, but nobody's really losing anything because they shouldn't be out there anyway.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Medical professionals around the US told BuzzFeed News that the official numbers of people who have died of COVID-19 are not consistent with the number of deaths they’re seeing on the front lines.

In some cases, it’s a lag in reporting, caused by delays and possible breakdowns in logging positive tests and making them public. In other, more troubling, cases, medical experts told BuzzFeed News they think it’s because people are not being tested before or after they die.

The bolded part there, that’s what happened to my friend’s aunt. The hospital in NJ didn’t have enough (any?) tests available. The doctors think it was COVID-19, but they can’t officially report it as such.

Can't the ME/coroner/whatever use judgment then and declare it COVID?

Delaware Corp. who own the Boston Bruins, just announced forced leave for something lie 80 of their full-time employees, and pay cuts for another 64 or so.

The Jacobs family who own Delaware Corp, are worth over $3 billion. One of the cheapest corporate owners in sports. Just disgusting how they treat their employees. they could continue to pay every one of them for probably a year, and still be worth 2.9 billion.

New Jersey tripled their rate of increase overnight. +727 yesterday. +2,474 today.

Can we retroactively take away their 2011 Cup win?
