Coronavirus - How is your work handling it?

5th day of working from home. Our company will suspend operations starting tomorrow until further notice.

It's getting worse here in Manila...
 
The courthouse closed to the public yesterday. I am setting up one worker to work from home starting tomorrow. The other is scattered hours. I'm going to work scattered hours as well. We may reach a point to where all of our closings are mobile and we are doing e-notary. The problem is that we do need "wet signatures". The problem we have with totally shutting down to the public is that the factories and other major employers are open. We are in this odd spot where we want to be cautious, but you can't kill the business either.

No difference. My most paranoid agents went home last week and it's just me, the manager, and about 3-4 other people most days. Home sales are still strong!

If you could do me a huge favor, let me know how your local title companies are handling it. We are also extremely busy - not only home sales, but refinances are insane right now. This hits us on both residential and non-residential. Our courthouse closed, so most can't search to get out title insurance commitments. We are lucky in that we have a title plant which is a database of all recorded docs. Many title companies quit maintaining those once the courthouse really updated their system. We just did a closing with a lender who said this will be the last closing she personally attends.
 
The last couple of weeks have been hectic as i’m part of the team that had to get people prepared to work from home.
As of now, almost all of our employees are currently working from home. Only exceptions are people who’s job functiona cannot be done remotely and as of now, me and the rest of the real IT staff. I anticipate IT will likely begin working from home come Monday barring any radical spread of the virus in NYC.

I'm just trying to get an idea of how most offices are handling the coronavirus with employees. We are running business as usual now, but I think that is going to need to change soon. We can't really work entirely from home. We are incredibly busy right now which really doesn't help matters.

A girl I went to high school with has been posting all of the houses she's been closing on the past couple weeks. Not slowing down in the least.
 
machine shop / manufacturing checking in

I highly doubt our shop will shut down unless there is a state mandate.
 
Travel agent due to the impending colapse of the travel industry they cut our work hours and pay and we now all work from home.

Hopefully we dont totally cave in.

No one is sick yet
 
Sent everyone home for two weeks with their laptops. We are getting paid.
 
Self employed art photographer, its a shit time of year for print sales anyway so not running a stall for example isn't much of a loss until probably May/June. Besides that its walking in the countryside and editing at home anyway.

This does actually seem like a bit of an interesting divide between the management/buritocratic class and blue color work though who outside of some service industries are still going to be needed to work as normal.
 
In the words of Sir Obama "very stupidly".

They just sent out an e-mail today, it was a generic one. I've gotten e-mails from every company I've ever made eye contact with before I heard from them. The e-mail was a big nothing burger. I'm like let us stay home, we're not essential staff, geez.
 
I’m self employed. I teach private boxing and kickboxing lessons.

I’m fucked.
 
Rumor has it Chicago will close down construction sites friday :(
 
All classes have moved to online for the remainder of the semester. No more in-person therapy sessions; our clinic is transitioning to telehealth this week.
 
Day three working from home and I’ve had to remind my wife twice already that I’m not actually on vacation.
 
I'm in Silicon Valley and we are pretty much shut down here under the "Shelter in Place" order from Governor Newsom. Afaik, everyone is at home today except a select few. I also work part time at 24 Hour Fitness and we got the notice last night that the Gym will be closed for the foreseeable future. Sooooo..... My Wife and I are just sitting home watching the News hoping our son's flight from New York (Cornel has shut down) doesn't get canceled.

As much as this is going to suck, I'm actually okay with it on one level because I think if everyone stays home for a couple of weeks we can make a big dent in this thing and hopefully get it moving the other way. So I'm all in. I'll do my part and hope everyone else does theirs. Together we can beat this thing.

At location till next week then work from home for a couple of months.
 
School now just cancelled until May 1st here. Shit is going to hit the fan at a lot of work places. Childcare is shut down at most locations as well. I'm guessing this will hit almost any industry where everyone can't work from home. We've already seen it hit on the short term, but another 6 weeks is devastating.
 
They had "evolving" door signage asking people who have recently visited certain countries to not enter. Then starting last week, they have been transitioning almost the entire office to work from home. So, by next week we will go from about 5,000 in house, to about 100 "essential" employees.
 
I'm a professor and pretty much I am just on paid vacation right now lol
