Random thought: can’t believe many companies aren’t issuing refunds for people affected by corona. How do you expect people to employ ‘social distancing’ if companies prioritize revenue over CSR?
For example, think of the single mom who saved for a year on minimum wage to take her kids on vacation…you think she’s gonna cancel the trip if no one will refund her money?
People keep talking about personal responsibility. I get that. But how about corporate accountability?
I’m over here just looking for an excuse to work from home, haha. We’ll see I guess. Honestly it’ll take an apocalypse to make that happen at this point.
I get what you’re saying though. It really sucks for someone in that situation and companies should help make it right… but I’m sure they’ll protect #1 first.
For real? Everyone should be at home at this point. That’s insane, brother.
I’m still in the office… No mandates yet to wfh full time.
Yup, still at the office too. It’s kind of weird… we got a notice saying if you weren’t a plant employee then you should be working from home as much as possible… then I get one saying sales is considered a plant employee, but I think they are thinking of sales people that are at customer plants or at actual stores since that’s more common than what I am. I’m in a corporate sales role so there’s no reason whatsoever for me to be here. Hopefully they clarify by Monday and I can work from home at least some next week
One company I work with still had employees coming into the office until today when those employees could all easily work from home. It made no sense. Just reckless.
Unrelated - I wanted to thank you @bkb333 for the rice cake/peanut butter/jelly tip.
I’ve modified it slightly and replaced sugar free jelly with fresh strawberries. It’s my go to post workout meal.
I love this meal. Macros look like this -
That sounds absolutely phenomenal. Love the rice cakes – just had that earlier today – and the strawberries are a great call. Such a tasty low-cal food.
You’re satisfied with the plain oatmeal? Feels like it could be kinda…boring.
I actually semi cook the oatmeal and add it into my protein shake. I know, I’m strange… But I cook it just enough not to be mushy and soft enough to sorta drink/eat with the shake. It’s delicious.
That’s interesting. Doesn’t sound gross to me - I often mix protein into my oatmeal. For example, just had breakfast:
1 scoop chocolate protein
1/2 cup oats
1 TBSP natural PB
3/4 cup fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Absolutely phenomenal
This corona thing has put everything in flux. Option 2 looked like a 100% sure thing, but now it no longer does. A bunch of moving pieces involved, including a potential contract issue – and now I’m interviewing for Option 3 next week as well. Whew! Here we go.
Wow… Crazy times for sure. 2020 is shaping up to be quite a year. Viruses, Brady leaving the Pats and now option 3 back in the table! Good luck.
That stinks. I think everyone is pretty well putting everything on hold for the time being so that isn’t too surprising though. Hopefully option 3 still comes through.
I got told on Friday they’d hire me that day if they knew how bad of an impact the virus was going to have on their business.m but were worried about hiring someone they didn’t technically have budgeted until q4 and then have to deal a downturn on top of that. Talking again next week to see if anything has changed. It would be a ton of travel though so I’m not sure about it anyways.
I’m hearing crosstalk that domestic travel is now being discussed for the chopping block. A traveling job would probably be the worst job to go for right now brother I’m sad to say.
You guys stay safe out there. I’m not as concerned with the virus as I am with panicking people doing stupid things. In usual fashion, folks in cities across the US have created their own crisis situations by hoarding everything on store shelves and making it damn near impossible for most to procure their weekly supply needs. Especially the ones that saw the writing on the wall, but could not afford to “buy ahead” for months worth of needs. Hopefully things will calm down soon.
This sucks because I’ve really just now gotten back into a routine after the whole home buying fiasco. Guess it’ll just have to go into a holding pattern until it’s safe to frequent the gym again. I’m a little cautious about putting myself out there for the risk of it. The whole asthma thing could spell trouble for me with this particular virus.
I don’t want to brag here, but I’ve been mostly avoiding people WAY before the carona virus came around!! Lmao.
I hope it runs it course and is gone before tick season starts…if not, we’re going to have carona with lyme!!! (Sorry I had to!)
You know what i think about sometimes. If i end up in the hospital, will they let me continue my injections? That would be
the worst time to experience a crash that can possibly kill you.
Will they see the importance of trt as a priority?
I am slightly worried because I take an ARB for bp and this drug may increase ace2 which is what coronavirus attaches to making it a severe illness.
Yes, I’ve heard the same thing about ace2 and coronavirus, so I get your concern. However, as long as you have a doctor’s prescription, I’d imagine they would allow you to continue the injections.
You would have to be pretty critical to even be admitted to a hospital at this time from what I understand. There’s not much they can do with this virus, so your first and best option is self quarantine if you actually contract it.
Akin to them not giving you your blood pressure medication. I think they have to.
I mean he only has $180 mil…he is trying to catch up to Gizeles $400 mil. BTW, I am not a sports fan and these were google searches.
I have loved ones who are Boston sports fans and are baffled that he left New England. IMO it’s not about the money, it’s about what the money represents. The Pats disrespected him for years by lowballing him and he finally sought his worth. The same thing happened with Dwyane Wade and the Heat.
It’s a high-T move.
