WooHoo got laid off today

Well I've taken a staycation until they make their mind up at work and I got the call today that I'm laid off until the customers start brings their cars back in. I haven't been laid off since 1981 so this is new territory for me but I'm kind off looking forward to it.
We have gone from about 80 appointments per day down to less than 20 and that wont feed six flat rate techs and 2 hourly diag techs. Plus I'm high risk being 57 and a diabetic with asthma pulling a dash out and replacing airbags. So if the new unemployment packages I should do pretty good at least better than making 3-5 hours a day.

congrats I guess

Open your own repair facility , if its anything like near here -- You will have more customers than you want in no time

...as was just reported ....some people being laid off in SC .....

They could collect up to $ 24.09 per hour

Does your company have under 500 employees?

Because if so, with todays legislation passed?, the company will be reimbursed for your wages for up to 4? months if they keep you on the payrol.

Not sure how that works out if paid by the job, I am sure there is some fine print somewhere. Besides Unemployment will be full salary also up to a decent amount, like $60K? annual for 39 weeks.

I am not well versed on the bill, seems most who voted for it haven't read it entirely either.

Stay tuned.

I just read that Bernie is holding up the bill because some guys will be making more laid off than they did working. Details on MSN homepage

The saying, never let a crisis go to waste, effects all of mankind,

lol. it's not bernie. it's....

But Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) are opposing speedy consideration of the measure over concerns it would encourage employees to be laid off instead of working.

Just posted...
The stimulus bill with the unemployment payments has been put on-hold.. A group of GOP senators have decided certain changes are required...
The senate has had a week to create/author this bill and now after the conditions have been released/published they don't like it....

No wonder everyone is disappointed with Washington DC...

Just my $0.02...

No POLLY you ...

Most of us will be LONG GONE when all this comes due !

I heard they are getting close for a final deal. Has anyone read if they were they able to remove Plan Parenthood Funding, The Green new deal funding and funding for illegal aliens and all that has NOTHING to do with the US corona virus situation?

I knew some of you trumphumpers would turn this thread political. Might as well go ahead and lock it up Mike
